This figure is a “blanket jumper”, having all four feet off the ground in motion and a blanket carved under its saddle. It’s hooves, mane, saddle. Saddle blanket, head, ears, nostrils, mouth, breast collar, etc. Are beautifully detailed and quite expressive. Is what gives Herschell Spillman “Country Fair Style” figures such distinction and defines this American icon. He pole that it is on is the original one that once hooked it to the top of the carousel, used in the design of it’s special made stand. The horse can be rotated or taken off the pole. The stand comes apart into three pieces. This figure is from the merry-go-round at historic “Tiny Town” children’s amusement park in Los Angeles, California, operating from 1945 until 1956.

In a very good condition. Original paint was stripped (we bought it this way). It is 54 tall x 70 long about 17 wide in the chest. Originally came from somewhere in NY, end of 80s was in a private collection in Oregon, after that- in California. Possibly carved by Charles Carmel. (suggestion by Karen Mears, curator of Museum of Carousel Art and History). The square nostrils, the jaw, the way the head is cocked suggests that it couldve been done by C. Below is a clip from an article re. Keansburg, NJ Carousel Question. Fortunately, the former / original owners have taken over again. The horses were replaced with fiberglass ones and you really can’t see anything of the original carousel anymore. The small one at the kiddie park remains intact with it’s small metal horses. Occasionally you can find a Keansburg Carousel horse on line. I bought my horse from them (yes, a Keansburg horse that I names Shorty after the carousel operator in the early 1960s)Hope this helps you.
