The photo is so blurry that it makes it difficult to find a name. I found no info on the negative but thought I should print it anyway. It looks like the men are pushing up the flat bed wagon rails used for loading and unloading the wagons. I will bet money, marbles or chalk that the man wearing the hat is the circus train master. This photo could be one of many great American circuses.

This photo is of the Cinderella Coach. This old photo tells me that it could be sitting in ruin in a bone yard at a circus winter quarters. It does not look like it is in good condition, note the front wheel.

This photo was taken at the New York Hippodrome. The actual year is unknown to me, but I would guess some time in the 1920’s……..Need help on a date……………….. Bob Cline has another great comment. I agree Bob on the date 1915.

On a siding, anyone’s guess where, is an abandon circus coach sleeper. There is some faint writing just above the windows of the car, very hard to make out. It could be from the Walter L. Main Circus? Did Main have cars such as these here………… Need help
Bob Cline has made a comment on this train, very interesting. Please read. I to went into my photo shop and did a reverse on the photo. I agree look like Robins Bros Circus Coach.

The information that I have on this photo is limited. The band wagon is called “Old United States.” The date on the negative folder is faded, but I make it out to be 1908?

The info on this photo is dated 1905. Photo shot during a city parade. I am researching for the wagons name.

I believe this is a private coach and baggage car, could be the owner of the show. The year and town is unknown to me.

Instead of a photo, a lithograph was used for this act. It most likely wasn’t as costly. I took this photo after making it into a positive and enlarged it and found a date of 1865. The negative is in bad shape, it is a acetate neg. I am very pleased that I was able to get this wonderful old photo.

This is a lithograph poster. The hippo is in a wagon of some sort and on the left can be seen onlookers just above Congo. I have no idea what circus or date………… Maybe Walter L. Main?
