Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo

Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo, Maryland, a great piece of art in its own right: each animal is so craftily carved, and so beautifully polished. I haven't seen ever a more beautiful merry-go-round.

3 Wurlitzer 165 organs are still playing for public view. This one at Glen Echo Park, at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California, and there's one at the Circus World Museum in Barabo Wisconsin.

Very nice video. One of the best Dentzel carousels out there, and one of only 3 Wurlitzer model 165 band organs in public view playing. The carousel was restored a few years ago.

Most antique carousels are great artwork. Dentzel carousels are among the very best.
