Mechanical tin carousel with six horses and six riders. The riders are all male and are wearing red and blue suits. The roof has scalloped trim. There was a flag decorating the roof and the spring winding mechanism on the underside is broken.
Based on comparison to other extant examples, this toy closely resembles tin carousels made by the German firm of Siegfried Günthermann, which was known for its metal toys.
