Yeah, but then it would be worth five maybe even six grand!  :biggrin: 8) :laugh:

If money was not object, that would be a cool item to get a hold of and restore.

Come on Jim it's only 20' around that should fit in anything :-)
Might have to take the seats out.

There is a 1890's wood horse one here that is very cool. Must be at least 800 light bulbs on it.

Reminds me of the movie "Sting" where the whorehouse had one.

The music from the carousel scene in "The Sting" comes to mind everytime somebody mentions a carousel!

        Made in 1930's, he says the horses are cast aluminum. I thought early models were carved from wood?

Rick Dale quoted me 3500 because of all the tear down hours it will take.
