Lot of 4 vintage color snapshots (3.5x5 in) documenting a visit to the "Ding-A-Ling Brothers Circus" show at an amusement park, possibly Busch Gardens or Six Flags, USA, circa 1970s. Photos show a trained seal or sea lion performing a water-ski hoop-jump act in a pool, wide views of the circus stage with performers in red ringmaster costumes, and close shots of a large seal/walrus on stage with a costumed performer. Sideshow banners are visible reading "THE AMAZING EL GOOGLE," "SIDE SHOW EXHIBITIONS 10c," "HARD OF HERRING? DR SNORTING WONDER TONIC," and a partial Coca-Cola sign, along with a ticket price sign reading "TICKETS 35." All four prints share a faded warm color cast typical of 1970s consumer film stock, with soft focus and light fading consistent with amusement-park snapshot photography of the era; no visible creasing or major damage. No captions on the reverse. This small themed set captures a fun, quirky slice of vintage American amusement-park sideshow culture and works well as a novelty lot for circus, sideshow, or roadside-attraction collectors. Associated with the estate of USAF Col. Patricia Jane Harrington. Please review photos for condition.
