Dave,
What a great series of carousel horse restoration. Thank you for sharing.

No! No!.....Eric not Dave!
Sorry Eric. Thank you. It's Buckles cockeyed way of running this deal, that confused me. :)

Wagon buffs may recall Emmett Kelly painted this panel, as he did others for Hagenbeck-Wallace. In his book, CLOWN, he recalls on page 119, that Manager Jess Adkins sidled up to Boss Painter Ernie Sylvester, saying, "Well, I see that Kelly sure believes in signing his name." Emmett quietly painted out his signature, as he may have done before this restoration was undertaken. His artistic credits may have thus been lost, but at one time his work graced HW wagons with Little Red Riding Hood, Popeye, The Three Bears, Mary and Her Lamb, and an array of Disney characters, for which he added, "With apologies to Walt Disney". His signature remained on that one.
