<\/p>\nMy friend, Jane, bought a Philadelphia Toboggan Company Carousel (PTC #61) at auction in 1984. It was built in 1922 for Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio and has 48 horses and two chariots. Literally using an x-acto knife to remove layers of paint, Jane discovered the original colors and designs and now the fully restored carousel is up and running in all its glory.<\/p>\n
