Wurlitzer Style 50 "Kiddie Organ" Case Colours
By Ron Schmuck

Hello Everyone,  A friend has a Wurlitzer style 50 band organ and
wishes to redo the case back to the original colors.  It appears that
the organ cabinet is a dark blue while the facade was a cream color.
The main question is what should the color of the raised panel located
above the Wurlitzer name be?  Also any info and especially pictures
would be greatly appreciated.

For a picture of the style 50 please see the Bowers' "Encyclopedia",
page 940, or Ron Bopp's great book, "The American Carousel Organ",
page 144.  If you don't have a copy of Ron Bopp's book better grab it
now before they are all gone.  His email is Ron Bopp <bopp@gcinet.net>

Please send pictures to <schmuck@wightman.ca>

Many Thanks
Ron Schmuck, Canada
