This is the authentic 1960's Budweiser Clydesdale Carousel Light. It rotates all the characters in a circle while lit. Given out to "good" customers by the Anheuser Bush Company. They are pretty rare and considered the holy grail to Budweiser collectors. Some reproductions have been made, the repros can be spotted by having no towns on the side of the cart, the bottom of the cart is solid colored, the dalmatians have consistent dots and many other tell tale signs.
The ORIGINAL 1960's Carousels were only given to Budweiser ON TAP accounts & are different than all other remakes in the following ways:
1. All 6 breweries in operation at the time are listed on the side of the wagon.
2. There are Tri-color labels on cases of beer & NOT bi-color on all remakes.
3. The underside of the wagon is painted WHITE & NOT red on all remakes.
4. Original Lakeside Plastics manufacturer label on top cap.
I have this exact light. My grandmother use to manage a bar on Scottsdale road near Rural road. It was called the Bonanza. When the bar closed she kept the Budwiser Carousel Light. About 10 to 15 year ago it stopped working. I need to find out how to fix it. I love this lamp and would love to have it up and running again. Can anyone help me please. I've contacted Budwiser and they couldn't help me . Can someone please help me. This is going to sound crazy, but it's the only thing I want in my life . To see the light work again. Thank you, Attitudebs.
