Wagons & Cage

The Schoenhut Wild Animal Wagons and Cages Wagons for the Humpty Dumpty circus underwent significant changes from the first and most elaborate, to the simple designs of the last ones made.
Photo by Jim Sneed from the collection of Judith Lile Wild Animal Wagon The very beautiful horse drawn wild animal wagon was produced about the same time as the band and flat bed wagon - ca 1910. Is was expensive to produce and sold for a high price. Not many have survived. It is a tall wagon that displays animals well.	Photo by Judith Lile Small Wild Animal Cage Wagon This wagon was introduced later and is clearly a simpler design that would have been cheaper to produce. 10 inches long Photo by Judith Lile Large Wild Animal Gage Wagon A larger version was also produced. This one is 12 inches long.

Flexible Cage The flexible animal cage was a simple design made from small corrugated metal strips and wire soldered together. It was introduced in 1906 and was produced probably until the 1930s.
