Curiosities

 Exotic Animal Wagon

On the edge of a farm northwest of Toronto, someone has a collection of curiosities for all passersby to see.  The exotic animal inside the wagon is a kid's stuffed animal - a tiger.

At the foot of the driveway

Both the phone booth and Coke machine are empty but I think the booth may be used as a school bus shelter.

The wagon is an amazing, fascinating style. And strange to see a booth and Coke machine together.

No coke at this stop, that is unless there's a plug in the booth. :-)

Now those are really curious things to see. Phone booths are getting rarer but the wagon is really rare. Great finds!

And to think that phone booths were so very common at one time.

That is really fun! The old circus wagon is a beauty! But I wonder how many folk stop and try to buy a coke?!!!

This is the coolest post ever. I loved it. A tiger in the circus wagon....how neat. And the Coke machine beside the “phone booth”...these are great creations. So glad you aught them with your camera.

I just love seeing sights like this! Hmmm, I should dig out my 'alien in a phone booth' shot!

And here I was thinking you could sip your coke while making your phone call.

Gosh as soon as I saw the old wagon my imagination went wild :) and it looks like it's true, you can find coke anywhere you are. Made me smile EG :)

I love that old wagon! A kid's stuffed animal being in there is much better than a real tiger ever was.

Shammickite said...

There was an animal wagon like that for sale at the end of a driveway along Hwy 9 a couple of years ago, I wonder if it's the same one!

Jack said...

If that is a bus shelter, it is the smallest one I have seen.

Jenn Jilks said...

They are curious! What fun!

Stephanie said...

Fun images!

Yogi♪♪♪ said...

What a great find. What a school bus shelter. Better than being out in the wind I guess.

Jeevan said...

The animal wagon and phone booth looks cool! It will be fun to have such cute little shelter for kids :)

Interesting post

Those phone booths are a thing of the past, aren't they? Hard to believe. Love the Old wagon.
