Where can I find a full size Mary-go-around horse?

Question

I'm looking for a junkyard for old theme park rides (preferably in the Vancouver area). More specifically; I want one or two full size Mary-go-around horses but I have no idea where to find them or how much they might cost.

PLEASE, HELP

Thanks you.

Answer 1

EBAY : )

Answer 2

Wow. I'm guessing you meant "carousel"? My grandpa made one, actually, and it's really cool! (: But anyway, on eBay there's a full size on (this one's girly, I have to say) and the latest bid is $349.99, which I think is a little too crazy. But that's just me. There's an old fashioned one (eBay also) for $9.99!!!! Get your butt over there!! (type in 'full size carousel horse') Hope I helped. ☺

Answer 3

Michael Jackson's back yard.

Answer 4

Haha well good luck with that

Answer 5

There is a place in Kellogg, MN that actually makes them for a small fee.  Try Google.

Answer 6

Original, carved carousel horses are rare indeed.  If you do happen to find one for sale, expect to pay a small fortune for it.  The price seems to depend on the position of the animal on the carousel.

"The largest and most ornate on the outside row start at about $20,000 while very plain wooden horses on the inside rows may be as low as $4,000."

The top price came last year, when a rare St. Bernard dog carved in 1905, which once stood on the outside row of a carousel, sold at auction for $172,000.

They were made of wood, so if they ended up in a junk yard (as some obviously did), they would be rotted away by now.  The few that were preserved are antiques and worth quite a bit of money, as you can see.

You can buy the plastic ones new from several places on the Internet if you just want a spiffy conversation piece for your game room.  Replicas run around $2,000 - $3,000 for full size replicas.

auction blocks

Answer 12

If you're searching online, try "Merry-Go-Round."

This will get more hits than "Mary-Go-Around."
