		The last major carousel was put into operation in 1932, but this was composed of “stock on hand” the carvers had left years earlier.

		But convention aside, carousel collectors are a warm, funny, down-to-earth group of people who know how to have a good time and seem to lack the paranoid, secretive, "I want that piece, but even more important I don't want you to have it" mind-set of some groups of collectors at a major auction.
		The history of the carousel is long and romantic, dating back to 17th-century France and a circular device for training French cavalrymen to aim their lances through a ring as they rode toward it.
