"This wagon was built by the Sebastian Wagon Co out of New York for the triumphant return to the United States of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. They used it in their daily street parades from 1903 to 1914. After that it remained in the Bridgeport winter quarters. It's circus days were over. It ended up in the Sarganigo Museum of Antique Autos, Princeton, MA for many years. Somehow or other, it was relocated to the Harrisburg, PA area where Walt Heist discovered it and realized what it was. He told Chappie Fox and the Circus World Museum got a hold of it." - Robert Cline, Circus fan-atic fb group expert
