And Barnum & Bailey Circus antique wooden wagon wheel. I acquired this wheel from a very trusted circus memorabilia dealer in approximately 1991. He provided me with a typewritten letter (now misplaced) from the person who restored the wheel, explaining that it was salvaged out of the old Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus equipment graveyard in Sarasota, FL many years prior. You can see more about the grave yard if you search online for Ringling/Barnum Winter Quarters Graveyard, Dyer Reynolds photos. The wheel has been kept in my home since 1991. It is in good structural condition. The paint has chipped or worn away in some areas (see pics). The wheel was repainted during restoration prior to my ownership. It is an awesome novelty item from a bygone era of The Greatest Show On Earth. And Barnum & Bailey Circus went out of business in 2017 so this is now a. I don’t know where you could find another. The wheel would make an amazing glass top coffee table or prop for home or office. What a unique Christmas gift!
