English Automatic Seraphone Organette
By Kevin McElhone

I wonder if any readers have an English Automatic Seraphone Organette
which plays the same 20 note paper rolls as the Celestina (made in
USA).  It would be helpful to know two pieces of information for an
on-going research project.

Firstly, I would like to know the serial number of any instrument;
it's found on the top, next to the tracker bar stamped into the wood.

Also, does the printed paper label on the under-side of the lid say
by 'His' or 'Her' Majesty's Patent?  (This will help with dating the
production).

Many thanks,
