From Bob Cline #1



   Dick Flint could give you a far better history of this coach than I, but I think it goes back to the Barnum & Bailey show. Here is the one obscure photo I have of it stored in the Paul Kelly cat barn before it was bought and taken to Baraboo. I'll look to see if I can find a photo of it now restored at CWM.

I'll differ to others! Like most wagons at Baraboo, I suspect its history is likely well-documented in Bandwagon.

The next photo in this series is headed "1942 V&H Circus #9" and identified by Bill Woodcock as"Old Ringling Cinderella Coach." That photo is immediately followed by one from Buckles identified as Ringling-Barnum 1925 and they are different vehicles. What we see here is the undated coach. Wagon questions are really the domain of Fred Dahlinger.
