Carousel Organ at Keystone Park in Sayre, Penna.
By Mike Roseboom

A friend of mine in northern Pennsylvania sent me an image of
a postcard that depicts the carousel at Keystone Park in Sayre,
Pennsylvania, in the early 1900s.  You can read some information
and see a few more photos of Keystone Park at
http://www.nepalostparks.com/parks/keystone.html 

Can anyone identify the organ that is being used, and the make
and style of the carousel?  The instrument appears to be a European
organ, possibly a Ruth?  Does this instrument still exist, to
anyone's knowledge?
