Pawnee Bros. Circus


According to Bob Parkinson's book "Directory of American Circuses 1793 to 2000", the Pawnee Bros. Circus was owned by Ralph Green. It only worked in 1951. These photos were taken on April 1, 1951 in Warner Robbins, GA. At least the show was well painted.

Thanks Bob. I have never seen pictures of the Pwanee Bros. Circus before. You're right, It's a great looking show.

This is the same show as Don Robinson' Ameri-Congo outfit.

You can see a Don Robinson lettered truck in the background of this pic.

Also the sagging centresheet of the tent, and the chimney in the background, are identical to scenes in a couple of the preceeding Don Robinson photos.
