For Wade Burck
Hey Wade, this photo isn't the clearest one, I know, but taken in 1935 on the Cole Bros. Circus you can see Safari / Jumbo II walking with the same girth strap that was on the postcards with Fritz.
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.

Bobby,
Thank you. I wonder if it was some kind of martingale strap?
