Hi all!  First of all: a Happy, Organ-ic New Year to all!

I have a question: Some time ago I received a picture of a European
carousel with an organ façade, and I was wondering where this carousel
and organ have gone.

The carrousel was made in the beginning of the 1920s by A. c
from parts from several other carousels, and it had a +/- 52-key Decap
fair organ in it.  Later on the organ was replaced by a façade.  (The
owner, Mr. Van Calster, played organ records instead.)  In 1974 the
carousel was sold to Canada (others say USA).  Does anybody know more
about this?

I have placed a picture of the carousel at

The organ is at

Many thanks in advance!
