An ultimate accomplishment in concept and execution. I ask some of our wagon historians to provide an accounting for this one. Please tell us it's still around.

This was made in England / Europe and brought to the States by Seth B. Howe in 1871. By the late 1870s, the Howe's Great London Show was struggling financially and a show printer acquired this. He quickly sold what he could to James A. Bailey. The wagon then toured on the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros. Circus.

It's final disposition is unknown to me but it doesn't survive today.
