This is one of the four Al G. Barnes / Sells-Floto stock cars that was cut down to become a flatcar. They toured for several years on the RBBB train before being sold off.

I remember Cetlin and Wilson bought one in 1951. I would have to look around to see where the other three went.

Joseph Bradbury’s very excellent history of Ringling-Barnum’s 1941 season appeared in the May-June 1978 issue of THE WHITE TOPS. It includes the 1941 Train Loading Order compiled by Gordon Potter and which indicates that Wagon No.146 shown here contained one of the Spec floats. (Iron rim wheels were apparently still being used extensively by the show in 1941.)
