Value of Melodeon Organ
By James Jelinek

There seems to be a small interest in these instruments in the Midwest
part of the country, but mostly as decoration or accent pieces rather
than instruments.  I have restored quite a few over the years and they
are rather neat considering their extreme age.  They usually date from
the 1830s, '40s, '50s, '60s.  Cases are usually rosewood veneer.  Real
pieces of history but like the square grand pianos, only a few really
want them.
