Ringling Bros  Barnum and Bailey  Long Cage 1938 Posted 1 of 13Cat semi tow bar trailer 1938.

Bob Cline dates this wagon at 1944. Please read his comment. Mike I thank you for your comment too. The 1938 date was on the photo envelope. It was written by the person that took the photo. I know no more than that. All corrections are indeed welcomed.

    Ivan,
    This is one of the performing act cages. I’m 95% certain that these came into being after 1944 when people were crushed in the Hartford fire against the steel chutes. This cage was then backed in when needed and pulled back out immediately afterwards.
    Bob
