There will be many dozens of fun carousel figures of all kinds, horses and menagerie from the shops of Bayol, Heyn, Devos, and many others.

Much more fairground fun stuff of all kinds, posters, ride art panels, slot machines, antique fairground games, a full swing ride, a beautiful full “auto” carousel, and dozens of restored planes, trains and autos, and bikes, from early auto carousels.
