These beautiful carousel rides in Great Britain and many other countries where about a revolving circular platform that gave space to wooden animals and seats that were used by people for fun rides in amusement parks.
I am forever fascinated by “Merry Go Round”, even when I was a kid; I loved to watch the horses going round the periphery in a circular motion. Carousel music boxes are similar to the “Merry Go Round”. In Merry Go Round, the horses move in a complete circle, at the same time they move up and down with the kids waving and shouting at the top of their voices.

Did you enjoy the Carousel ride - the "Merry-go-Round"?
In particular, I appreciate the ferris-wheel and horse carousel music boxes. The Nativity and the parachute-seated carousels also enchant me.
Would ceramic, metal or wood carousels be most valuable and most valued?
First time I see carousel music boxes. I can see why people thought to invent them. They preserve much of the spirit of fairgrounds.
Carousels are so much fun. The pink one would be perfect for a little girl.
Absolutely beautiful. Very magical!
I love music boxes. I used to collect them. These would be great gifts for a collector
