tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #2003 - Primitive Carousel. circa 1850-1860. This may be the oldest operating wooden carousel in the world. It is believed to have been made before the Civil War and was last operated in a city park in Baltimore Maryland in 1920.

No one knows who built this carousel. The horse bodies are made from logs and you can see the growth rings on the rump and chest. Each horse is made from 8 pieces of wood and there if there were carving details, they were painted on. All metal is hand-forged.

Two men turned the mechanism by hand cranks and the carousel turns on a single ball bearing. Because of the fragility, no one is allowed to ride although museum volunteers demonstrate the machine.

This primitive carousel is on permanent loan to the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum in Leavenworth Kansas from the National Carousel Association in Sands Point, Long Island, New York.

tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #2002 - Carousel #118 remained in poor condition and all components were disassembled and stripped of old paint. Nails, screws, bolts, strips of tin and bondo were removed. Below layers of paint the horses, rabbits, chariot chairs and the love tub still had their original paint designs.

Any parts that were too badly damaged to repair were replaced and recarved in the C. W. Parker style. The figures were all reassembled using wood dowels and glue instead of nails. Shims and wood epoxy were used to fill cracks and holes. All the original pony’s tail were, and remain real horses hair.

The grand opening of the C.W. Parker Carousel occurred on April 30, 2005 in Leavenworth Kansas and was operated for fun-timers for the first time in over 25 years.

Jerry bought it for Delores and operated it in his front yard. After the Freses moved to South Bend Indiana they contracted #118 to the Circus Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin (with the understanding that the circus museum would restore and operate the carousel, which they never did.

In 1989 Jerry Frese loaned the C.W. Parker Carousel to the Leavenworth Kansas Historical Museum Association with the understanding the museum would restore the carousel and operate it in a permanent building. Despite many efforts and fund raising, the project wasn’t completed and returned to Jerry Frese in the mid-1990’s.
