Description:

This seemingly humble merry-go-round is quite unique - it is the last four-abreast carousel made meaning each row is four deep. Made in 1947 by the Allen Herschel company, the carousel journeyed from New York to the nation's capital in 1967. Owned by the Smithsonian, this revolving calliope music box is evocative of a gentler time.
