Hagenbeck & Wallace Circus #1
Posted By thecircusblog on March 26, 2012
The information that I have on this photo is limited. The band wagon is called “Old United States.” The date on the negative folder is faded, but I make it out to be 1908?

Exactly when my grandparents were with the circus.
Hi Ivan,
This was part of the Ringling Bros. World’s Greatest Shows. This wagon was built by the Bode Wagon Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1903 as part of a five wagon order. This wagon cost $1,500.00 brand new at the time.
