This carousel has so many great aspects it is hard to know where to begin.  Excellent condition (only the light throws off the chip colors, particularly of the whites).  Here goes:

• Note that there is a separate inner circle of 6 columns/stacks of chips, and 14 outer columns/stack of chips.  To remove chips from the inner circle, you first must remove a stack of chips from the outer circle and then reach through to the inner stacks!
• There is a professionally carved/original  "W.I.E." in the wood (you can see it in the first picture at the 11:00 position), and all 500 chips (100 red, white, blue, yellow and black) have a stylized "W.I.E". inlaid monogram!
• There are 14 hand carved, painted Chinese junks (sailing vessels).
•  Metal dragon design handle.
• Dragon designs carved in the wood base (seen in third picture; excuse the dust).
• I just noticed that carved into the center of the top are some leaves and two Chinese mah jong (?) chips (?) (round with square hole in center of each; I guess those "chips" were used by the Chinese for gambling).
• I assume the rack was made in the U.S.  The chips certainly must have been made in the U.S. as they look like typical U.S. Playing Card Co. work.
