JUL

Is it the bow of an old sail boat?

Sorry, Paul, it is not the bow of an old sailboat, but very good guess.

Ok I see it now.. It is a repair job on an awning over a sidewalk. and not a very safe looking repair job... am I getting hotter or colder?

Paul Guenther

Is it the wing of a small airplane?

I really don't know. If I have to guess, I would say a sailboat?

Paul, Sorry You are getting colder. but another great guess.

Crystal, no, it is not the wing of a small airplane. tThanks for submitting a good guess.

Oh come on Kathleen give us something difficult next time. It is obviously a 1924 whatchamacallit.

JOHN: This photo has nothing to do with boats or airplanes

LOL 1924 whatchamacallit...I LOVE it!

Sincerely,

Kathleen

BILL: It is definitely a whatchamacallit that has a name and is older than 1924, it is historically dated 1884.

KATHLEEN: Thanks for stopping by. Want to take a guess?

Time for a clue, it is located in a place indoors and used by young and old that can add smiles to their faces.

amusement park ride?>

MONIKA: You are getting warmer, not actually an amusement park.

with the size of that bolt I am presuming it can hold quite abit of weight. A swing?

VICTORIA: You are correct in that it holds alot but it is not a swing.

Kathleen - I think it is probably some sort of see saw. What throws me off it looks like it's high off the ground.

Okay I am thinking an old ferris wheel maybe? that is quite an angle on that picture against that building...

Good one Kathleen - At first I was thinking it had something to do with a lighthouse. I know, I have lighthouses on the brain these days. I think I'm stumped. Not a carousel?

JUL

ROBERT: You are absolutely correct saying it looks high off the ground. It is off the ground but not a seesaw.

Hi Kahleen...Looks like part of a roof and the Support on the Side ?

Cheers,

DEBRA: Thanks for stopping by. Sorry it is not an old ferris wheel.

JENNY, You are the hottest so far. This is located in a magnificent indoor carousel built by Charles W.F. Dare,

Fred, Thanks for stopping by, so far Jenny almost has the answer, it is located in a Carousel that is the nation's oldest running. These horses have real horses hair for manes and tails and glass eyes,

oldest carousel

FINAL CLUE: Reach for your BRASS RING and get a FREE ride.

sister, Maureen Jean as she grabs the brass ring

Me thinks this is the kind of carousel where the horses go up and down a pole and are suspended?

Wow, Kathleen. You really gave it to us on this one. I don't think that I would have ever go this. Now, Jenny on the other hand, she is good. Thanks , Jim

JENNY: Actually these horses are called the "FLYING HORSES" These horses do not go up and down as traditional carousels, these remain stationary and are historic "America's OLDEST carousel."

Since 1884, islanders on Martha's Vineyard, MA, have enjoyed the beauty of this magnificent Carousel. Built by Charles W.F. Dare, it is the nation's oldest platform carousel still in operation. Acquired by the Preservation Trust in 1986, the carousel is a National Historic Landmark. Children (and others) including myself, would ride this merry-go-round to catch a brass ring and get a free ride. Every year when my parents vacationed in August at Oak Bluffs and stayed at the room house at 6 Samoset Avenue I would ride these horses.

I have so many fond and amazing memories catching those brass rings One on each finger and even my thumb, 5 at a time. If you ever have the opportunity you must see this absolute must see carousel, it is for the young and young at heart. Flying Horses

This beautiful antique carousel is continues to live and give families a lasting memory.
15 Oak Bluffs Ave
Oak Bluffs, MA 02557
(508) 693-9481

BTW, the mystery photo was the arm that the rings are placed into called the "SHOOTER" One ring at time shoots down the arm until the carousel stops and the Brass ring is taken.

MARIA and JIM: Thanks for stopping by. Jenny is good at this, she was the closest in naming the object. this was thoroughly so much fun to do. I will have to find another object to stump my AR friends.

Kathleen - Thanks for the picture trivia. I would have never guessed a carousel.

I didn't have to guess. By the time I got to this far, it had already been figured out for me! After the long day that I had, I'm glad I did not have to think very hard.

Robert, thanks for visiting and enjoying my picture trivia. I am glad I was able to stump so many of my AR friends.

IRENE: Glad we had it figured out by the time you reached the end.

JUL

I knew I should have guessed before reading all the comments because I would have guessed a carousel, but only because I have to walk by the San Diego Zoo's carousel every time I go to the Zoo.

JIM: Aren't carousels the small joys in life? There will always be the kid in me when it comes to merry-go-rounds.
