P.T.Barnum Part 1 #4
Posted By thecircusblog on December 13, 2012
This is an actual photo of P.T. Barnum’s 1873 orchestra band wagon. “Orchestmelachor”
Bob Cline has named this wagon correctly in his comment. A must read. Thanks Bob.

Ivan,
This is referred to as the Orchestmelachor and is preserved at the Circus World Museum after having been on the west coast at Bradley and Kaye’s kiddieland for a number of years after the Ken Maynard show folded.
