Buckles, After seeing the pictures of your Dad on the blog today I remembered that I had this one. It says Robbins Bros 1947 Wm. Woodcock & Bulls, is this correct ? I can`t really tell as the picture is taken from a distance. There is also some pictures of your Dad taken on the Terrell Jacobs Circus with the Conklin Shows. There is one or two taken in the backyard and several on the bally. If you don`t already have these I`ll forward them to you.
"Yes that is he with the elephant act later owned by Oscar Cristiani. The date is incorrect however, should be 1949. I don't remember any blow downs that year and since there aren't any center poles some equipment might have broken down or even tied up on the highway. The circular wheel at left was used in my uncle Tex Orton's knife throwing act. I think the Conklin pix have already been shown, they sound familiar." Buckles |
