Robbins Bros. Circus
Having toured the country on the 1938 Robbins Bros. Circus, we see that this wagon has had the pipes removed, had corners designs added to the center opening and recieved a pretty nice paint job. Now with the undergear gone, this amazing photo was taken in 1956 at the Bradley farm in Rochester, Indiana where this once proud parade vessel was now being used as a coal bin.
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.
