information:  Both of these pieces were manufactured by the King Amusement Company for the same carousel.  Restored by our Restoration Department in 2009, the top light would have been mounted atop the carousel while the shield would have been placed over the edge of the outer rounding board, giving it a more complete look (click here to see our restored carousel for an idea).
