More Cristiani #1

Buckles:
 
The last photo you posted, a couple days ago, of the Cristiani Bros. Circus set--aerial view from above the lot; is not the Cristiani Bros. Circus.  It is of a Cristiani show, but it is of Cristiani-Wallace Bros. 1963; the show that Pete & Norma owned. The Cristiani Bros. never used 2 semis to front the side show & I can recognize the semi Pete used for concessions & ticket sales in the line up across from the side show. The big Cristiani Bros. show used a semi in the middle of the midway for ticket sales & office.  I have dozens of photos of Pete's shows of the early 60's & was always impressed with the amount of equipment he used to move a big show.
