The Wagon

CIRCUS TIME: Baraboo, Wisconsin 1991 - France Bandwagon

You'll notice as I post photos and postcards of the various wagons, that many of them currently in existence had quite colorful histories and changed ownership a number of times. As you read the history of this particular wagon, you'll also appreciate it as a survivor. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

CIRCUS TIME: K-Line K6900-02 Band Wagon Kit - Blue sides, silver roof and ends, pink yndercarriage and running gear

Originally made in the 1950's for the Betty Schmid Circusiana brand, K-Line's kits were just as nicely done, however for the most part they did not carry forward the original wagon names or designations. This wagon was originally called "The Knights In Armor Band Wagon". K-Line just called it a 'Band Wagon', failed to include seats for the band to sit on! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
