Today I am pleased to offer...
An Unusual Rare Official Circus Performer's Rail Road Car Schedule
1952 Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows Inc. Tour Itinerary in the Original Frame
This appears to be an internal official tour itinerary that was posted inside the railroad car for performers of the traveling circus. It lists the dates, locations, showtimes, Railroad line for each leg of the journey, and the distance in miles in between each stop. There is a note that says "allow mail enough time to reach points needed before date given" which appears to be instructions to the circus staff in receiving correspondence from their friends and family along the circus tour route. The time period spans September 15 through October 5, 1952.

Joplin,  Missouri
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

It is remarkable that this unique piece of ephemera has lasted so many years. Overall it is in very nice condition. The paper is yellowing, with age spots, attesting to its authenticity and age. Definitely a unique conversation piece!
