NCA #5 -- PTC Hippocampus


NCA # 5

"Hippocampus" gets its name from the Greek for horse ("hippo") and fish ("campus").

The swirling, twisted mane of a horse and curved, shining tale of a leaping fish meld together in this icon of Greco-Roman mythology. The Hippocampus was carved by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1905 for the PTC # 6 carousel now residing in Kit Carson County, Burlington, Colorado.
