Music Rolls in Indiana Museum
By Philip Kaiser

Hello All, This week I was ask to look at some music rolls at the WW2
Victory museum in Auburn, Indiana, and give them an idea as to what
they were and where best to sell them.  They had three rolls on a desk.
To my surprise one was a Mills Violano-Virtuoso roll # 2310, a Capitol
'A' roll, Clark Christmas Orchestra roll # 13295, and a Wurlitzer band
organ roll style 150, #13295, also Christmas.

Having identified the rolls they said, "Let's go back and look at the
rest of the rolls."  There were 20 style 150 rolls, 9 style 125 rolls,
22 Capitol 'A' rolls, 17 Capitol not-so-hot rolls, and 6 more Mills
rolls.  All the rolls are in a various state of repair!  I suggested
eBay as a possible venue to sell the rolls.  If anyone of you have a
better idea please let me know.  I will keep you all informed as to
what they end up doing.

Regards, Phil Kaiser
