Auction at the "Organ Grinder" Restaurant
By Colin Hinz

Here's more complete info on the auction. There actually isn't a lot more info related to musical instruments, sad to say. Much of the ad is devoted to an inventory of the restaurant equipment. Yes, in case you're wondering, this auction house specialises in industrial and commercial bankruptcies. Thus, bidding on the instruments could be completely haywire: amazing bargoons or else "antique collectors" paying ludicrous fortunes for unimpressive old stuff.

=====

Musical Instruments and Ornaments: 1928 Junchen-Collins Wind Driven Pipe Organ; Dominion Organ -- Ornate Wood Carved; Faber Upright Piano; Qty. Moving and Playing Instruments [that's all it says, folks!]; Antique Cabinets, Apothecary Cabinets, Doors, Signs, Glassware, Wall Mirrors, Instruments, etc; blah blah blah movie posters blah blah blah neon beer signs blah blah blah.

[Longer blurb about Audio, Video and lighting equipment]

[Aforementioned even longer blurb about the restaurant equipment]

DANBURY Auctions, (416) 630-5241.

25% Cash on Purchase exceeding CAN$1000.00

ALL SALES SUBJECT TO BUYER'S PREMIUM

===================

So there you go! If I manage to get from the auctioneers a more complete list of the musical instruments, I'll send it only to interested parties (not to the Digest).
