I am unable to find a picture but the operating Carousel here was sold off in pieces but the major portions minus the horses ended up in Missoula, Montana and is now operating in Caras Park.Click HERE for their web site

The Carousel's frame was built in 1918 by the Hershell-Spillman Company of North Tonawanda, New York. It was last operated at the Ponderosa Ranch where Bonanza was filmed.
