Record Price Paid for Concert Roller Organ
By Kevin McElhone 

A world-record price was reached today for a Concert Roller Organ
plus 24 cobs, working but un-restored, at the Mickleburgh auction
in Bristol, of =L=2,100 + 15 % premium makes =L=2,415.

If you multiple by 1.65 to get USA dollars that makes $3984 !

I hope the auction house will issue a full price list.  Many items
went above estimate.
