Herschell-Spillman Carousel, Balboa Park, San Diego, California. Built originally in 1910 for Luna Park in Los Angeles. It has a menagerie of hand carved wooden animals, all original, except for two small ponies, the original hand-painted murals surrounding the upper portion of the carousel,and the original military band music.

This is my favorite, most cherished puzzle. I bought it in the early 2000s at the gift shop of the Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky, Ohio. It was made by White Mountain puzzles but they don't make it anymore. I have visted a fair few of the carousels on this puzzle over the years. It's heartening that since the 1990s when this puzzle was created, only a few of the carousels depicted have become defunct.
