Like most people, I had gotten used to the "it's unique" patter but I
guess if Nancy Fratti has not seen one, then it must be pretty close
to unique.  I will arrange to visit the guy again and take a camera.

He is thinking of selling part of his collection and I know he does not
like this box so I may be able to buy it.  I only have one organ box in
my collection and its a fairly standard thing in comparison.
