John Wixom Menagerie cage

This is the final product a few years later. The center upright carving on the skyboards came off of a bed. All the other carvings came from the Parker Carousel at Kiddieland in Cedar Point when the horses were sold off piece meal. My dad's friends, Leonard and Thelma Jefferson owned it and they gave Dad several of the skyboards and mirrors.

Dad owned this cage from 1960 until 2003 when Dick Britton bought it and then donated it to the International Circus Hall of Fame. It is now part of their collection where it is referred to as the Wixom cage.
