Taken within the last 12 months...This is a horse I like to take pictures of on the carousel on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights NJ...the National Carousel Association said the Seaside Heights ride is one of only 212 classic wood carousels left in North America.
The 1910 Dentzel model, made by a Philadelphia family renowned for carousels, has 58 animals..36 of which move up and down – and two benches.
The carousel also features a Wurlitzer band organ that operates with a pneumatic system, using a leather bellows and perforated music rolls that play its individual notes.
I know the old owner Dr. Floyd Moreland that just a few years ago sold it to the company that has now donated it to the town for an exchange of beach property to build the new section of Casino pier.
