Summary

Description

Sir Hugo Page is still in the carving process. The museum allows visitors to walk through the work areas and see the carving in process. Sir Hugo Page, a part lion and part eagle mythological creature sponsored by Bridget Haggerty and Scott Page, will be an outside row standing animal. This is yet another animal that is being kept in the family because it is being carved by the father of its sponsors.The carver of this beast is Cliff Page, who is the only carver on this project that also carved on Salem’s Riverfront Carousel. The chest plate for this animal is attached with a golden chain and contains the Page family crest and the scepter, with it’s goblet, was inspired by a famous movie – can you guess which one?

" This carousel will consist of 52 animals and, being a menagerie style unit, will have a variety ranging from a seven foot plus tall giraffe, dogs, cats, zebras, unicorns, dragons, and yes, even lions, tigers, and bears, (oh my just to name a few)! The animals will be situated on three rows, where the outside row (large animals) will be “standers” while the middle and inside row animals (medium and small sized respectively) will be “jumpers”. Each row will also have two replacement animals and there is also five seasonal animals planned, bringing our total to sixty-three animals.

The Albany Carousel is fortunate to have a 1909 Dentzel Carousel Corporation mechanism donated to our project. Our initial plan was to purchase a new mechanism that would hold 32 animals. However, Bill Dentzel, great grandson of Gustav Dentzel the founder of Dentzel Carousel Corporation, heard of our project and arranged for the antique mechanism to be donated to us. The Albany Carousel owes a great debt of gratitude to both Bill Dentzel and the National Carousel Association, the actual owner of the mechanism prior to it being donated to our project through Bill Dentzel.

This classic mechanism has taken over ten years to restore to working order, every wooden gear tooth, every mirror panel, every motor that turns the carousel platform, has been meticulously restored. "
