Wade G. Burck said...: Buckles,
Are you sure they were the Hawthorn elephants in 1970?

Buckles said...: No I'm not but Jim Cole's references are irrefutable!; 10 February, 2010 06:58
Jimmy Cole said...: Wade, You might even be right this time! Now that I think about it, these were still the Hamid Morton elephants, which were later sold to Cuneo.

Buckles, any idea who might be working them?; 10 February, 2010 07:14

fire hoop as it has no bottom to

the tubular ring (never saw one)

If it were for a horse it most

likely be a complete ring; 10 February, 2010 13:40
