Kiddieland's Antique Carousel was made by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company back in 1925.  It was at several parks in Connecticut until 1947 when Kiddieland purchased it and moved it to Melrose Park.



We all found a horse that called out to us and hopped on for a ride.



Most of the carousel horses are not in the greatest condition but from the looks of it several of them had been worked on and several of them were missing so one could assume that they are slowly working on restoring them.



I have always seen PTC's log on the saddles of their carousel horses but this is the first one where I have seen them on the front of the horse.
