RBBB Mack truck # 234 ( from Steve Flint )
Once replaced by the White Army 1/2 Track #250 unit in 1949, a large box was added to the Mack. It was used on RBBB thru 1950. At that it was replaced by a new Mack LJ #234 using the tank from the old AC4 #231 Mack. In 1951 this truck was sold to Royal American Shows and re-numbered #T-21. It was used by RAS thru the 1959 season. It eventually went to Tommy White for restoration.
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.
