Flatcar # 8
This is a Xerox copy of a Wm. Jones photo at the Circus World Museum taken in 1939. You can see it is numbered 44. The Mighty Sheesley Shows was a carnival. They had this flatcar from at least 1930 to 1944 when they sold the show. The original owner after manufacture of the car is unknown. If anyone has any more information, please feel free to let us know.
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.
