No. That is "TOMMY" in the middle. Those are the Diano bulls. This was in 1953 on the Diano Circus. He was partners with Ben Davenport. I can't recall the other bulls names right off. Buckles would know. The show didn't make the season. My son "Ben" was six weeks old when the show opened.....Barbara.....

I guess Wade would have called

him "Prince Tusk" at the time

Interesting that in their youth

both Tommy's & Col Joe's ivory

start out fairly level & as they

aged both of their left tusks

curved higher than their right

would have mostly been a diaper

(maybe with bugle beads)
