Post card from my collection
Below is a continuation of the thread which my post of the Orchestmelochor Wagon started, and is a good indication of a reference I had made in a previous post about how wagons were repainted or sometimes re-built. In this case the wagon was re-purposed and re-built as far back as 1894!

"To go along with Dale Williams comments regarding the Orchestmelochor wagon, here is a Wallace G. Levison photo of the rear of the wagon going down Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn NY during the Barnum and Bailey stand of April 27th to May 2nd 1891. Wagon was built in 1879 and was rebuilt in the winter of 1894 to a regular tab wagon. Barnum had passed in 1890 and it was Bailey's show in 1891."
