Mystery Barrel Organ
By Dale Dohler

We own a small barrel organ of unknown provenance.  I'm in the process
of restoring it, and so far I've found nothing definitive to indicate
who built it or where it originated.  The only teaser I've found are
two small scraps of newspaper glued to the boards of the bellows/reser-
voir.  They're not in English, but that's all I can tell.  Could some
of our non-English members take a look at the pictures I took of those
scraps to see what language they're printed in?

  [I told Dale that the posting of his pictures would have to wait for
  [Robbie's return.  But in the process of trying to open the truncated
  [email to which they were attached, I seem to have obliterated them.
  [Now I must ask Dale to resend them.  So much for Relief Editing.
