Next week at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival sale in West Sussex, England, a unique piece from the automobile world is going on the market. This carousel was built in the 1930s to entertain the workers at Rolls-Royce. The merry-go-round runs and has 24 horses which were cast in the aluminum foundry Rolls-Royce in Derby and is believed to be the only carousel made by the company. The carousel has had several owners and was displayed in the Skopos Museum before being sold to the current owner. It is estimated to sell for between £25,000 and £35,000.
