A recurring theme throughout the circus world is the repainting of wagons. Here's a beautiful Hagenbeck-Wallace cage wagon from the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin that was painted in red, gold, and white livery. The post card shows it white sides. Many cage wagons had removable side panels that made them appear like tableau wagons. In the photo from Baraboo, the panels were removed. Also, this particular design sports three arches while other cage wagons had no arches, which you'll see as I post more photos and post cards. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
