Grand Roller Organ Handles
By Todd Augsburger

Here are the results of my query:

The majority found handles like this: "The side handles are plain, with
3 screws and the bail (handle) pivots on its two ends so that it lies
recessed within the frame at rest." But at least one other has handles
like I have, a single piece stamped brass with two screws. (Rather
cheap-looking, in my opinion.) So I assume that there were two (or
more) styles used. I'll reinstall the handles I have.

Thanks for the many who commented, or pointed me in the direction of
someone who could provide the information. I made my quest easy, and
if not for several responses, I may have overlooked the less common
match.

Perhaps when I get this thing finished, I'll post some general comments
here.
