CAROUSEL FOR SALE!
The New England Carousel Museum of Bristol, Connecticut is offering for sale a Mangels Kiddie Galloping Horse Carousel with eight standing and sixteen galloping horses. The carousel features a 20 foot platform and stands fourteen feet high.
The carousel is known as the "Lever House Christmas Carousel". The tradition of the Christmas Carousel display at Lever House began in 1953, almost two years after the Lever House first opened. That year a carousel was rented from an amusement park for use in creating a festive display of the company's products to help make the general public more aware that Lever House was the new corporate home for Lever Brothers Company.
In 1969 after many years of using a rented carousel, Lever decided to have a carousel of its own and commissioned the W.F. Mangels Company to build one for them. The carousel operated at Lever House for many years before being donated to the New England Carousel Museum in 2001.
For more information on how you can own the famous Lever House Carousel, please contact Louise DeMars, Executive Director of the New England Carousel Museum at (860) 585-5411 or by Email at: info@thecarouselmuseum.org. Serious inquiries only please.
New England Carousel Museum is a not for profit corporation.
