Every boardwalk had one. Now the old ones have been broken up and sold for their parts. When we walked into the Carousel Building, we all became children, again. The calliope music, the jeweled horses, perhaps this time we would catch the brass ring. We knew our parents and maybe our grandparents had ridden these horses, lions, and tigers.
Carousels are forever, for all generations.
This gorgeous card is within the Asbury Park Carousel building, a circular structure of 1926, with Medusa Heads in Copper . Purchased from a New York attorney 20 years ago, who found the horse in the 1940s in Connecticut. Unrestored, as found, glass eye, brass bit. On wooden stand. Check auction records first and then call with your responsible offers for this rare piece of American wood carving, in the most popular art style of any day.
