Question for Wurlitzer Band 0rgan Wizards
By Doug Hershberger

There is a curious little device on the left door of both of my Wurlit-
zer band organs which has eluded my identification.  It is a small wood
block with a vertical hole drilled through it, about the size of a
common lead pencil.  Dangling out the bottom is a small spring-metal
clip that moves in each direction a bit and may be intended to hold
whatever was placed through the hole.  I suppose some small tool may
have been furnished with the organs: a brush to clean the screens or a
hook for moving the tuning slides.  Can anyone say for sure what the
purpose of this thing was?
