Authentic Reproduction of a pony from a children's carousel
Not too many years ago, carousels were familiar
sights in America. They could be
seen
in virtually
every park and fairground . . surrounded by
excited children waiting their tum in great an–
ticipation of the wondrous ride to come.
Today the carousel is fast disappearing from
the American scene. No longer are there the great
wood carvers creating the animals, chariots and
elaborate facades that made the carousel a fairy–
tale land come to life. Gone are men like Gustav
Dentzel and Marcus lllions who came from
Europe at the tum-of-the-century possessing
only their skill and imagination but ended up
establishing carousel carving as one of the great
forms of American folk art.
And so we are extremely proud to be able to
offer here this authentic copy of a pony from a
small carousel of the early
1900'
s. Cast in special
reinforced plaster composition from a mold of the
original so that every detail of the wood carving
is duplicated. Painstakingly hand painted and
expertly antiqued. The result is this outstand–
ing reproduction of the art of carousel carving
that would make a truly unique and beautiful
room divider or decorative piece for a game room.
43
in. long; 28 in. high. With 8-ft. striped moun–
ting pole and wall bracket. Shipped prepaid by
freight from Chicago to all states except Alaska
and Hawaii. No C .O .D. orders.
