E. Joy Morris Carousel Horse. Philadelphia: E. Joy Morris Carousel Co., ca. 1900s. Carved wooden stander of a horse with tassel on head and parrots on both sides of saddle; carved wooden saddle and bridle. 59 x 66?. Restored by Pamela Hessey of Hawk?s Eye Studio. Edward Joy Morris opened the E. Joy Morris Carousel Company in 1895, and thanks to his family?s wealth found great success as he was able to purchase and assemble carousels much faster than his competition. He sold his remaining inventory to the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1903, and until 1989 many of his carousels were mistakenly attributed to them. The last Morris carousel was broken up and auctioned off later that year. Third party transportation required, located in California.
