R.B.B&B
Posted By thecircusblog on January 20, 2013
On the notes of this photo is written 1936 baggage wagon. On the license plate it says Indiana 40?.
The info on this is photo not correct, even though on the photo envelope is written with the above. Thanks to Bob Cline’s comment we will all know what this wagon was used for. Thanks Bob.

Ivan,
This is a dog wagon with each one of those doors being a comparent to carry the dogs from the show. The Indiana License plate comes from RBBB owning the American Circus Corporation that wintered in Peru, Indiana.
This is also possible to be an Al G. Barnes Dog wagon that came to the RBBB WQ after the 1938 season. It could be a Hagenbeck-Wallace dog wagon with the Indiana plate and mismarked as RBBB. Where’s our Ringling experts?
