Very nice carousel and band organ. I'm from California now living in Las Vegas. The rounding boards look like on the San Francisco Zoo carousel, and the inside panels look like the ones on the Knott's Berry Farm Dentzel.
I believe this is the ca. 1895 Dentzel that was at Acushnet Park in New Bedford, Ma from 1916 to 1953. My dad operated these "Dobby Horses" in the late 1930s. (Goggle Images "New Bedford Dentzel) These are repro animals but it is great to see it looking so spiffy.

This carousel as I read is a reproduction of a Dentzel carousel. It's very nice though my favorite type of carousel is a PTC.
