I have no idea where

To my eye, this is very representative of a vintage tent show. I'm guessing this is the early 1950s, bearing a charm all its own.

That Animal attraction @ R doesn't look set up for a pit show. More likely a ding.

This is probably the 1950s Carson and Barnes operated by Jack Moore. I understand in 1969 when D.R. Miller consolidated his animals and equipment into one large show he decided the Al G Kelly and Miller Bros name had run its course and he arranged with Jack Moore's widow to use the Carson and Barnes title.
