Oh my gosh, tearing up now!
I did too. A very elegant tribute. I wish they would play it once on this day every year.
No, it’s not a real carousel horse, but it is a real replica of one. I found out that it is one of the replicas made by a company in Mexico of carousel horses made by Herschell, Spillman and Parker that were made at the turn of the century. They didn’t have permission to use the Coca Cola name on the stand and were made to stop doing that. So, the stand may or may not increase the value. Plus, with the exception of some paint missing on the post, it’s in very good condition. I’m really lucky to have found one this nice. I know that there are a lot of fake wood carousel horses out there, but evidently these aluminum ones were such a pain to make, that nobody bothered copying them. They were only made for a short time. It’s nice to find out some history on it. Doesn’t matter what it’s worth. It’s not going anywhere. 🙂
I can hardly breathe, I am so excited… Susie is my hero! With work tiring me out, and my computer on the fritz, I hadn’t been checking my emails… and I almost missed the one from Susie telling me she had one set aside for me if I wanted it! *dances*
Yeah Susie! 🙂
With the fall season approaching, I’m still hoping for an Autumn Cat Wizard. Any chance of seeing those?
fatal, Windstone has been working on the horns. John has been working with finding a method to make the horns themselves. However, the molds required are pocket molds. There is also more than that, which has been discussed in another thread already, regarding such things as the masters used for the horns. It’s not a simple cut and dry solution, but Windstone has been working on it.
haven’t seen any talks of them working on it lately or for awhile to be honest, I just keep hearing the horn amounts getting lower and nothing said of fixes…
Just because they aren’t talking about it here doesn’t mean they aren’t working on it. Have a little faith, and patience.
Glad you guys are enjoying it. I swear that could have been my cat, Lucky, except he would have been playing for keeps. He is now known as a serial killer.
Yup, you can just yank ’em out ^_^
I on the other hand wish I had tags I could attach to all my new ones! ROFL!
I could send you some, drag0n. 🙂
