Value of Old Crank Reed Organ
By Frank Chadwick

A recent trip to an antique fair here in UK found me the owner of
the remains of a venerable crank organ.  I have posted pictures on
my Flickr account at

It appears to built on the same lines as an Anglo Concertina so
I suspect it to be of German origin but have no idea who made it.
There are 28 pins in the four-inch 'gate' where music strips would
feed through.  My question to the group is, given the lack of outer
casing and the poor condition of what remains, is it worth preserving?
