Chance Carrousels
Chance began selling carrousels (deliberately spelled with two 'Rs') in 1971 following the acquisition of the Allan Herschell Company the previous year. Chance modified the Herschell design giving it a more ornate style. In 1987 Chance purchased the molds and manufacturing rights to 62 carousel figures from competitor Bradley and Kaye. David Bradley had carefully reproduced prized carousel animals from famous carvers over the previous 20 years and new molds were cast at the Chance facility under the direction of David Bradley. These famous reproductions with spectacular detail have been included on Chance carrousels since the late 1980s. With the merger of the D. H. Morgan line of carousels, some of the unique Morgan figures have been added to the collection as well. Although fiberglass, the magnificent detail and menagerie of different styles of horses and other figures have become a trademark of Chance Rides carrousels.

Famous quotes containing the word chance:
“The Indians feel that each stage is crucial and that the child should be allowed to dwell in each for the appropriate period of time so that every aspect of his being can evolve, just as a plant evolves in the proper time and sequence of the seasons. Otherwise, the child never has a chance to master himself in any one phase of his life.”
—Alan Quetone (20th century)
