My friend Tom from Boston (a former Youngstown resident) passed this information along to me.

---------------------------------------

The old Idora Park carousel was built by the Philadelphia Tobaggan Company back in 1992.
The Wallentas's (since divorced) purchased the unit as a whole at the Idora auction in 1985 and Jane has finally completed a full restoration of it.  At this time it is only available for viewing in Brooklyn, NY, until a permanent home can be found.

for more info.


Thanks,

Tom
