Photograph of carousel at Playland Carousel, 1927.
The carousel features 66 hand-painted wooden horses and chariots carved in 1915 by master craftsman Charles Carmel, a rare band organ from the early 1890s, and a mechanical action designed by Charles Mangels. This is one of only four Carmel/Mangels carousels still extant.
