Hello!  I am the owner of Limonaire 49-key No. #3586 which is known
to have been built in December 1904.  I can ask the exact information
for #3404.

The Trumpets in #3404 are not typical from Limonaire but look more
like a Mortier design, meaning that the organ has been reworked.

Attached is a picture of my Limonaire #3586.
