Technically, if the 1956 date is accurate, this is a Mangels carousel with Illions horses. It's the former Stubbmann carousel, which ran for years at Surf Ave. and West 5th Street. It was moved to the SE corner of Steeplechase and the boardwalk about 1954, after the previous machine had been largely destroyed by fire. The remnants of this ride, augmented with a selection of horses from the Feltman carousel, turns in Flushing Meadows.
