This is a copy of a stander carved by the Stein and Goldstein company.
This piece came with different base configurations,
most commonly with an oak music-box base or oval brass base though other combinations (such as a rocking-horse base) were
produced in smaller quantities than the oak and brass bases. The piece is about 7-8" to the top of the pole. There is
usually no coin set into the bases of these. The music box (if it has one) almost always plays "The Carousel Waltz".
The
average price of this piece when new was $40-$65.
