1995 Carousel Horses 2976-79 Plate Block of 4 x 32 cents US Postage Stamps

In 1995 the USPS released the 2nd part of the Folk Art Series featuring carousel animals. The four horses on these 32-cent commemoratives represent the three distinct styles of American carousel carvings from 1870 to 1930, which is considered the golden age of the carousel. Two of the horses are from the "Coney Island" style: the king horse and the armored jumper. The Indian pony represents the "Philadelphia" style, while the "Lillie Belle" jumper showcases the "country fair" style.
