This is the other side. I'm pretty sure this is the Arthur Bros. Charging Tiger at the Circus World Museum now. Any thoughts out there?

About Me
- Bob Cline
- I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.

According to Chappie's book ,Louis Goebel acquired quite a few H.W. wagons in 1938 , and presented this one to C.W.M. in 1963.
Which Book Jim? Is there anymore info about the Jungleland wagons?

"Horse Drawn Wagon Collection "at the Circus World Museum Baraboo , Wis. -- Edited by C.P. "Chappie" Fox -Published by - The Great Circus Parade , Inc. 1994
According to an article by Joseph Bradbury in the July-Aug 1963 issue of "Bandwagon" this wagon first appeared in this form as the sideshow bandwagon (No. 41) for the Hagenbeck Wallace 1934 street parade. Wagon historians believe it was rebuilt from an earlier wagon in 1933. In 1935 a door was cut in it and following other modifications it became the "Hagenbeck Wallace 4Paw-Sells" grandstand ticket wagon. For that season it had the portraits of Hagenbeck, Wallace, Forepaugh and the Sells Bros painted on one side, the extended title of the show on the other. For the 1938 season it had a portrait of "Blacaman" and wild animals painted on its sides. When H-W closed that year, Louis Goebel bought this wagon (and the others) and moved them to Thousand Oaks. In 1945 the ticket wagon was leased to Arthur Bros, and as you mention the Charging Tiger was painted on both sides. It appeared in a variety of movies and television shows between 1946 and 1963 when it was acquired by the Circus World Museum.
