Unidentified Orchestrion
By Terry Smythe

I've received an inquiry from someone in South America appealing for
help in identifying a large European keyboardless cabinet orchestrion,
operated by pinned cylinders.     Assistance from members of this group
would be very much appreciated.

I have posted 2 pictures of the orchestrion with its doors closed and
with its doors open, on my home page:

      http://www.mts.net/~smythe/orchest.htm

Interested members of our group are invited to visit my site and view
these pictures, and help these folks identify what they have.  While
they have not asked, opinions as to relative collectibility and
potential worth may be useful.     They have not revealed whether they
are interested for insurance purposes, marketability, or for
restoration.

Many thanks for whatever assistance might be possible.

Regards,

Terry
