Hello all you interesting people from coast to coast and around the
globe; I am now the proud owner of "The Gem Roller Organ" ??? Does this
mean this was the only one made?  This Gem has been in the family since
late 1890- early 1900 and I would like to know more about it.  I have the
original shipping box, $3.50 COD, but no return address.  Any history or
info would be helpful.  I am thinking about opening a museum with my vast
collection, I also have a player piano, so I must have something to tell
about "THE GEM" when visitors call.  I need help.

 [ Welcome to the Digest, Skip, and I hope you will tell us about your
 [ collection.  There was mention here several months ago about the
 [ little roller organs and how they became popular in Japan!  Another
 [ popular name was the McTammany Organette (I hope I spelled that
 [ right!).  Can someone advise Skip where to begin? -- Robbie
