COVER: Looff was said to have originally carved this carousel for Steeplechase Park in San Francisco, but when the earthquake destroyed the park it went to Seattle. It would find a home at Playland-at-the-Beach until the park closed in 1972. From there the carousel went to Long Beach and finally back to San Francisco at Zeum, now Children’s Creativity Museum.
