Circus World wagons

This is a Dom Yodice photo. It was taken Nov. 10, 1978 at Circus World. As many of you already know, only two of the RBBB giraffe wagons still survive. One is at Circus World Museum and this one is now at the Hall of Fame.

We know this wagon was at the Bob Deitsch Zoo in New Jersey in the 1960's as it went back to Madison Square Garden for the big Menagerie exhibit each year. RBBB technically owned the wagon. When was it removed from New Jersey and brought to Circus World, I don't know.

Now here's the BIG Million Dollar question. When Circus World was auctioned off in 1985, who bought this wagon? The Hall of Fame in Peru wasn't established until 1995 but the wagon is there now.
