CWM Water wagon
Does anybody remember where this wagon came from? Did it have a carnival or circus background?

Bob- This one came from a lumber company from somewhere around Oshkosh, WI. The Museum painted it white and lettered it up with the Barnum & Bailey title. CWM used it for years to water down the dusty areas on the grounds.In fact we took it to Milwaukee on the train once or twice. What a fiasco that turned out to be! Flint
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.
