  • I miss that Carousell very much

  • We have a fully restored wood carousel here built around 1910 or 1915..forgot which. It is absalutly beautiful and cost $1 per ride.

  • The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions says fewer than 20 carousels still have operating brass-ring machines.

    The association estimates that the B & B was one of fewer than 175 carousels still operating that were produced in the golden age of carousels, from the early 1880s to the early 1930s.

    For 27 years, Mr. Mike Saltzstein maintained and operated the merry-go-round until his death in 2001.

  • The B&B Carousell was one of fewer than twenty carousels still operating with a brass ring machine. The B & B's 36 jumping horses, 14 "standers" and two chariots were carved by the great artists of the Brooklyn school of carousel carving. The master craftsmen Charles Carmel, M. C. Illions and Charles Looff all contributed figures. The music was produced by a 66-key Gebruder organ.
