Hand carved animal cage wagon… 1914. The elephant in this photo is slightly nudging it forward with her forehead. Both of the men are looking to spot the wagon in a line up.

This ticket wagon I am guessing was in the late 1930’s or early 1940’s because of it’s design and the steel wheels fitted to balloon type tires.

Steam calliope. I am guessing the date to be around 1901.

It literally took hours to get this negative into a positive photo. This is as good as it gets so far. This photo was taken in England 1901. The wagon in front is the ticket office.

Double open side cage wagon…. 1903. In the right side of cage are two pumas and on the left it looks like a bear.

A white ticket wagon… 1903. What a great photo in spite of the bad negative.

This tableau is known as the Elephant Tusk. It was sometimes called the Siam Tableau. I have no date on it and as you can see the negative has a few holes in it.
