Another NORTON of Michigan AUCTION! THE AUCTION SCENE Onancock 1985 Auction If You Contemplate An... NORTON of Michigan This is actually our second auction for the fine people at the Onancock Volunteer Fire Department! In 1985 we auctioned their circa 1917 Allen Herschell wood merry-go-round. The carousel came to Onancock in the early 1940 s from a small park in Maryland. The fireman elected to sell the carousel to prevent loss from fire or vandalism. It sold separately at the auction after being offered complete. The volunteer fire department used the funds for operations and upgrades to their carnival. Pictured above is part of the crowd that attended the 1985 auction. IS THE NAME TO REMEMBER! OUR 41st YEAR!
