Subject: Barrel (Monkey) Organs

I saw some e-mail exchanges that you had about monkey organs and I
wondered if you can give me some information or point me in the right
direction.  I just bought an organ.  At the top it says:

    "Frati & Co. Schoenhauser Allee 73 Berlin"

At the bottom it says:

    "Unicos Angenies
     A Wagnery Levien Mexico Pueblay Guadalahara"

It's about 15" high and 23" wide, crank in back.  Two red cloth grills in
front separated by a set of metal pipes with mirror below.  No sign of a
date anywhere.

Thanks
