Daniel Muller – Carousel Carver
Daniel Muller came to America from Germany in 1881. He was inspired by Civil War Statuary for his carousel carvings. He used authentic military equipment to decorate his carousel horses. In 1903 Daniel began the D. C. Muller & Bro. Co. The company closed in 1917 when materials became difficult to acquire due to the war with Germany. He later worked for the Dentzel Carousel Co., which was bought by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters circa 1928. Muller is recognized for his realistic carving style.
