John,
Thank you for the gracious offer of additional photo's. Reader's of circusnospin would be most appreciative for the opportunity to look at more of your grandfathers great work. I myself am in awe of the carrousel that he created. As far as I know, and folk's please correct me if I am wrong, the only one I am aware of in existence.

My email is wadeburck@yahoo.com I will look forward to posting any picture's you could provide. Again, thank you for the gracious offer.
