What an unusual find! It looks like a lot of craftmanship went into the horses. They are beautifully painted in detail, and the leather seat is in great shape. The composition is really good and the subject is very interesting. I'd like to know a little history behind this carousel.

Thanks for sharing!

The carousel is delightful - they are slowly becoming obsolete - the horses are truly an artistic standout - great capture!!!

Outstanding shot of the merry-go-round. How much are tickets? lol.

Thank you all. Tickets are only $1 plus admission at the Columbus Zoo (Columbus, Ohio).

Sadly, they play recorded music most of the time (via speakers), even though the Wurlitzer 153 band organ appears to be intact.

Lovely shot of this classic carousel - good lighting.
