Bill Hudson Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Was there any more information on this? Where was the source? It is American because of the flags top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraclechicken Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That's what got me going, the horses. And the magic of that B/W photo---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrlvr Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi! There are a couple of these still operating. Bill posted an example of one machine. This horse drawn children's carousel was made by Marx. W.F. Mangels made a similar horse drawn carousel. I'm the co-founder of the Carousel Modelers and Miniatures Association (CMMA) www.carouselmodelers.org One of our members has built a 1/12 scale model of this carousel. I can post photos later. For those interested in fullsize antique carousels, I maintain a database of operating carousels in North America at the National Carousel Association website. www.carousels.org check under cenus. You will find much information about carousels at our website. Patrick WentzelNational Carousel Association Census Chairman/Director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teresa layman Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 The pinterest page link led to a collection of photos of early 1900's amusement park rides and such on a site called buzzfeed, but no other information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrlvr Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Good evening. I've uploaded a photo of the miniature carousel to Photo Bucket. The photo link works in my browser, but I'm unable to add it to this message? I looked at the photo help. Any quick and easy tips? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hudson Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Patrick, open your photo in photobucket and click on IMG. That will save it to you clipboard. Open reply here and paste. Remove all printing up to [img and all after IMG] this will post your picture here. Below is just a sample from my bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
