Objects Found In Music Roll Boxes
By Dave Brown

I have a question for the group.  I received a shipment of 20 piano
rolls from Texas the other day.  Six were Recordos, I now have 24,
now I just need to finish the rebuild.

Anyway while I was playing all the rolls on the Standard player, and
dumping out dust and dirt from the boxes, it became obvious that the
previous owner had not played them.  It made me wonder if anyone had
found anything tucked away in a piano roll box.

It has been discussed in the past about found objects in piano's, so it
got me wondering about piano roll boxes.  I wish I could say I've found
money, but I can't, only notes about repairs that were never made.  Has
anyone else found anything of interest?
