Solving the Mexican Muller Mystery
Gallery
This page is used to compile all photographs of each figure, and include valuable information such as owner, restoration, reproduction, and sale information. Because my research is continuous, and more information may become available over time, this page will be a work-in-progress.
​
Please note that each figure is labelled with its pose followed by a number (ex: Stander #1), to make it easy to keep track of the different animals and make conversation easier. Over time, we may discover that some of the figures have names (given by the owner, museum, or by the carousel community), and they will be listed along with the number label.

Owner: Unknown
Condition: Restored
Year Restored: Unknown, circa 1990-1997
Restorer: John Hughes (wood), Lise Liepman (paint)
Previous Owner(s): Robert Ersepke
Reproduction(s): There are believed to be several reproductions, including ones that replicate the restored paint as well as those with different color schemes.

-
The armored horse on PTC #80 in Holyoke, MA has some striking similarities in its trappings. Muller's influence can be seen on various carousels.

Stander #2
Nickname(s): The Gun Horse, Revolver Horse, Ducette (original name at Palisades Amusement Park)
Owner: Lyle Farver
Condition: Restored
Year Restored: Unknown, circa 1994-1997
Restorer: Steve Crescenze of Restorations by Wolf
Previous Location(s): Unknown
Previous Owner(s): Unknown
Reproduction(s): No Known
Additional Info:
-
Stander #2 was originally auctioned in Lot #6, which included Jumper #28 and Jumper #25. The asking price was $105,000.
-
This horse was featured (along with Jumper #2) on the front cover over The Carousel News & Trader, Vol. 13, No. 2. In which there is an article by Steve Crescenze about the restoration.
-
The glass eyes found in the horse were actually too small, and were likely taken from one of the smaller, inner-row jumpers. Crescenze replaced these eyes with larger, more appropriately sized eyes during restoration. The smaller eyes were used to restored Jumper #2.
-
During restoration, Crescenze also identified at least one, potentially two layers of paint underneath the "original" paint that the horse was found with. There were also various repairs hidden under paint. This implies that this figure was previously restored before its discovery by the Higareda brothers.
