Footnotes

This Dentzel carousel horse is most likely from the Seattle Playland that operated from 1930-1961. The park had a full Dentzel Menagerie Carousel. Following the closure of the park, the carousel animals were moved to Berkeley, California, where many were restored and sold by the well-known Fraleys. This horse has some rare features such as the roached mane and full wing spread eagle as part of the trappings.

Saleroom notices

Please note that the this lot has not been restored, sold or affiliated with the Fraley family. It has been suggested that this lot was originally from a carousel located in Grant Park, Atlanta, Georgia rather than Playland in Seattle.
