Charles I.D.Looff built some of the most beautiful carousels in the world. Most notably his machines in East Providence Rhode island and at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the machine up in Spokane WA along with his historic 1905 Looff carousel that formally operated at Whitney's Playland at the Beach in San Francisco. He built around 40 carousels in his career and only around 6 are left operating in the USA and one in Toronto Canada
Great footage! Thanks for posting. Looks to brief Oakland Beach footage at 1:00.
