Hello,

   I have, in my family, an organ that was purchased by my mother in
1962 in California.  It is a double-faced palace organ and we were
wondering whether to sell it or not.  We are also trying to determine
date of manufacture.  All we have to go by right now is a small plate
in the back that has a patent date of 1877.  An ad for it can be viewed
on a web page for organs run by Jerrell Kautz.  Email him at,

       jkautz@wcbi.com (Jerrell Kautz).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Musically yours, John Poling
