The last 2 photos are the Ringling Bros donniker wagons #98A & B which were sold to Royal American Shows when RBBB stopped touring with the tent. Eventual Royal American donated them to Circus World Museum. For a few years the wagons were taken on the train to Milwaukee for the Schlitz Circus Parade later known as The Great Circus Parade. Deacon Blanchfield used to pull the wagons off and on the train with a cat.
