It has been painstakingly restored to near-original condition with fully operational motor and lights. The carousel features a multi-color vinyl canopy reminiscent of a circus tent supported by brass poles and original oak flooring.  The rounding boards feature whimsical hand painted scenes of storybook animals.  All of the 24 aluminum horses are also supported by brass poles.    The Allan Herschell Company produced “kiddie” carousels as part of a “Kiddieland” line of rides designed specifically for young children.  Herschell’s idea in designing this carousel was to allow youngsters to be able to mount and ride the horses without the assistance of adult chaperones. For the very same reason, the up and down movement of the horses and the rotation of the carousel also function much more slowly than a typical larger scale carousel.   To learn more about seller, visit us online at www.greatgatsbys.com   Approximate height 14 ft, approximate diameter 20 ft.  Each individual horse 24”h x 42”l.
