Abstract:
Gustave A. Dentzel started a carousel-carving industry in the 1860s in Germanton, Pennsylvania. Today, only about eighty carousels with Dentzel figures remain in the United States and one is at the Raleigh Pullen Park, which is now on the National Register of Historic Sites. The merry-go-round is valued at $100,000 and is currently being restored.
