FS: Wurlitzer 120 Barrel Organ
By Dan Caulfield

[ A rough indicator of the market value of mechanical musical
 [ instruments is the closing price at the eBay auction.  I don't
 [ want to put every auction announcement in MMD, because I believe
 [ that the folks who _want_ to buy are already watching the auctions.
 [ But the price paid is news, and I welcome reports on the closing
 [ prices at auctions.  Dan Caulfield reports here about a price which
 [ is too high, so now we know what it _isn't_ worth!   -- Robbie

Hi Robbie,  No one bid on this organ; there was a opening reserve
price of $14,000.  It did not sell.

> Item #93891647  Wurlitzer style 120 band organ, circa 1900, activated
> by a wooden pinned barrel and plays ten American tunes.  Organ has the
> original crank to play the movement presently ...  Organ is in mint
> condition inside and out and was 100% restored in 1990 by Mike Kitner.
