Spanish Organ Grinders Organ
By Mark Merrill

To list:  I am seeking information on a small spanish organ grinders organ.
There is a small diamond shaped plaque on the front of the organ which reads
"Enrique Salva Barcelona Espano". It is approximately 2 feet long,
2 feet  high and 1 1/2 feet wide. It has a brass crank on the end which
changes the song. It plays 6 different songs. There is a brass crank on
the side which plays the tunes.  The organ is mounted on a small two
wheel push type cart. The wood looks to be "blonde" type. I would like
to know what the value of this organ is and if there is anyone
interested in obtaining one. I would also like to know the history of
this organ and approximately age. Any and all help will be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark Merrill
