Description
This a 1964 Allan Herschell carousel, which delighted generations of young people for 45 years at the old Miracle Strip Amusement Park for in Panama City Beach, Florida. The carousel was rebuilt in 2007 and opened again in 2009 in the Pier Park shopping complex.
The Allan Herschell Company, the most prolific maker of carousels, produced carousels from 1873 to 1970. This 1964 model was not hand carved as many of the earlier examples were. Many German master wood carvers immigrated to the US in the 1800's when work on the palaces of the time dried up and put their talents to work on carousel horses.
