We are actually nearing the end of all the wagon displays at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. However, there will be a few more posts from my visit there in 1991 showing the performance and then some odds-&-ends. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

This wagon was on the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus after the
Sells-Floto Circus was closed following the 1932 season. When the
Hagenbeck-Wallace show went belly up in California in 1938, Louis Goebel and
the Studios got almost all of the wagons. By renting wagons to studios, Goebel
saved many of these wagons and eventually donated them to the Circus World
Museum. Millions of dollars was spent by the Jos. Schlitz Brewing co. to
transport these wagons from California to Baraboo and then restore them.

Information regarding the ticket wagon from the Bandwagon
article. Wagon was on Howes Great London before being sold to Mike Golden for
Golden Bros. George Christy purchased outfit from Mike Golden and renamed it
Lee Bros and it was on the road for two years after. Sat in South Houston until
Christy sold it to Maynard. Maynard used it for two weekends at his ranch and
then a stand in San Diego in which Maynard lost his shirt and equipment sent
back to his ranch, never to go out again. Click the article to see rest of the
