Ringling Bros RBBB Egypt Camel Parade Wagon USA 1900 Original Photo
An original 7×5 antique photo from a large archive of Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey Circus photos acquired from the estate of a collector. This is a unique antique/vintage silver gelatin photograph — it is not a modern print. Photo Overview A dynamic downtown street scene shows Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey’s spectacular 16-camel hitch, four abreast, pulling the ornate “Egypt” tableau wagon during the circus’s 1900 advertising parade. Feather-plumed camels stride past storefronts marked “Expert Tailoring, ” “PHOTOGRAPH STUDIO, ” and laundry signs while the drivers, perched high on the gilded wagon, guide the team amid curious onlookers and gas-lamp streetlights. Ringling’s free street parades were legendary marketing events, drawing huge crowds hours before the big top opened and giving townspeople a glimpse of exotic animals seldom seen outside a menagerie. The “Egypt” wagon-built in 1900 and now preserved at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin-was one of the most elaborate tableau wagons ever constructed.

Antique 1920's German Primitive Camel Circus Platform Pull Along Toy
An antique circa 1920s German composition or paper mache Camel pull along toy. This toy measures 5.25″ tall, 6″ long and the platform is 2 wide. Has all the wheels, both ears, tail and legs. A little paint loss on one side of the neck and side, maybe where a saddle was originally attached? Also a bit of glue or paint on top of the platform. Overall in beautiful shape for its age as it was kept in storage for decades. Let me know if you have any questions.
