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.
