Description

Canon EF24-105mm The Allan Herschell Company, founded in North Tonawanda, New York, was the fourth in a series of companies in the community which manufactured carousels and other amusement park rides. Allan Herschell had previously been a partner in the earliest of the area’s carousel firms: the Armitage Herschell Company, in 1873, and later with the Herschell-Spillman Company in 1901. The Spillman Engineering Company operated from the 1920’s through the 1930’s in competition with its founder. ​The Allan Herschell Company, the most prolific maker of carousels, specialized in producing portable machines which could be used by traveling carnival operators. The company produced over ​3,000 hand carved wooden carousels and outproduced all of its rivals in the carousel industry. Each hand-carved wooden carousel featured striking yet simple horses.

I'm with Joannie, Ms T! Carousels sure bring back some good memories! For my little kid mind, a ride on one of those prancing horses, whirling around, I thought I was Dale Evans! lol! Wonderful color, light and details and thanks for the interesting history passed on. #12050172
