Zebras, only two are seen in this photo, pulling a dignitary wagon in 1908. There may be a small air calliope in this wagon. I see a man behind the teamster , looks like he is in front of a key board?

All of the show wagons making ready the line up for circus parade. The wagon in front is called Bells & Chimes of Moscow. It has its original wheels. I have no date on this photo. Thanks Bob for your comment.
