Re: Barrel Organ Value
By Marty Roenigk

In Digest 96.09.01 Douglas Rhodes inquired about the value of a barrel
organ.  This is an impossible question because of the wide variety of
barrel organs.  There are parlor barrel organs which have only modest
value, at least in the States, of perhaps $1000-1500.

When getting into the highly decorative and desirable street monkey
organs they can range from $2500-15,000 in good condition, depending on
the number of keys, number of pipes, maker, size of case, types of
pipes, exposed pipes, etc, etc.

If more information could be garnered, I could be a lot more specific.
There were perhaps 7 or 8 monkey organs for sale at the MBS national
meeting, including two that we took.
