FS: Ragtime Orchestrion & Steck Player Piano
By Michael Pollard

My mother-in-law has two pianos for sale.  One is a coin-op Ragtime
Model H Piano-Orchestrion with 10 type "O" rolls.  It has a beautiful
oak case with stained glass front.  Last time played it worked well.

The player is an old Geo. Steck & Co. upright player piano (Pianola),
88-key, needs work but never cannibalized.  Worked well for many years.
Would make a great practice piano.  Both pianos are in Houston area.

The above pianos were the property of my father-in-law, M.M. (Bill)
Wiseman, who was known in Houston as the "Music Man".  He rebuilt any
and every mechanical music instrument in Houston for some thirty years.
His workshop with heaps of parts is also for sale.  Inquiries to
