Trade Roller Organ Cobs

Dear Kim,  I have a small, but growing, collection of cobs.  I also have
2 Concert Roller Organs (same as the Gem, except in an enclosed case).

Since my collection is relatively small, I am hoping you'll be able to
find some that interest you.  If not, perhaps you'd be willing to trade
cobs for an organ, or to sell a few cobs.

I have been working at pinning my own cobs.  So have birch blanks already
sized, end holes drilled, but no pins; if you would like any.  It may be
easier to duplicate a roller (by making a rubbing) than to make one from
scratch.  But I digress.

*** Cobs which I currently have:

 20  Home Over There
 24  Bringing in the Sheaves
 65  What a Friend We Have in Jesus
121 Old Folks at Home (Swanee River)
123 Home Sweet Home
194 The Golden Slippers
205 Dixie
323 Millstream Waltz (pencilled i.d.)
556 Chimes of Normandy Quadrille
1009 Washington Post March

*** Cobs which I am particularly looking for:

 14  America
124 Marseillaise Hymn
162 Du, Du Bist Mine Hertzen
246 Irish Washerwoman
301 The Girl I Left Behind Me
1096 Stars and Stripes Forever
1125 El Capitan

Please note: Some of these numbers are from an unedited list, rather than
a cob, so accuracy may vary.
