THIS ANTIQUE WOOD CAROUSEL HORSE WAS REMOVED FROM AN AMUSEMENT PARK CAROUSEL/MERRY GO ROUND IN WILDWOOD NEW JERSEY.IT WAS ABSOLUTLY A WILWOOD NEW JERSEY SHORE CAROUSEL HORSE .I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT YEAR IT WAS REMOVED THE FACCT THAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE PARK OWNER HAD IT IN HIS HOUSE FOR AT LEAST 60 YEARS . FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE ,I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT IS ABOUT 100 YEARS OLD.THE HORSE IS SOLID WOOD WITH A HOLE UP THROUGH THE BODY THAT IS COVERED TOP AND BOTTOM WITH METAL PLATES . THERE IS ALSO A LARGE DISHED OUT HOLLOW AREA ON THE BOTTOM.THERE ARE SOME AGE CRACKS AND SEPERATIONS AT THE JOINTS . IT IS VERY SOLID AND STURDY AND WEIGHS A GOOD BIT. THE ORIGINAL PAINT CAN BE SEEN THROUGH A POOR LAYER OF PAINT THAT HAS ALL BUT WORN OFF. IT PROBABLY WOLD NOT TAKE MUCH EFFORT TO REMOVE THE REST OF THE TOP COAT. IT IS SOLID WOOD . 42X24 HIGH. THIS IS JUST A GREAT PIECE OF AMERICAN AMUSEMENT PARK HISTORY AND JERSEY SHORE HISTORY. PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK. EVERYTHING I SELL IS AS STATED. GOOD LUCK. SHIPPING IS FREE IN THE LOWER 48 GOOD LUCK
