Automatic Musical Company Coin Piano
By Dave Bowers

So far as I have been able to determine, this company was a very
small player in the exciting field of turn-of-the-century coin-operated
pianos.  I have only seen two of them, both of which had the roll
mechanism in a wooden bin below one side of the keyboard, using an
endless roll.

I recently came across a token used in a Pianolectra or PianoLectra
piano, probably a piano circa 1900-1906.  Has anyone ever heard of
this brand?  (Art Reblitz hasn't).

Best wishes to all,
Dave Bowers
