In response to Matthew Caulfield's question about Wurlitzer Band Organ
rolls, here's what I found.

I bought a Wurlitzer 145B Band Organ in 1985.  The organ was manufactured
nominally in 1929.  It was started at the Wurlitzer factory in North
Tonawanda, but as the organ was being finished the Wurlitzer Band Organ
business went belly-up.

The C. W. Parker company of Levinworth and Topeka and Abilene, Kansas,
bought the physical assets of the Wurlitzer factory, which included
organs, organ parts, tools, roll punching equipment and master rolls.
These assets were shipped to Topeka Kansas where Parker finished the
organs (including my 145B) and fabricated a few new ones for installation
on C W Parker Carousels.  Parker also cut new 125, 150 and 165 rolls for
sale to it's customers.

Prior to that, Parker had used the San Francisco firm, Bacigalupi and
Sons, to distribute some of it's products through 1925, at which time
Bacigalupi went out of business.  When Parker went bankrupt in 1932 one
of the Bacigalupi sons bought Parker's Wurlitzer roll cutter and some
master rolls.  I believe the roll cutting equipment still exists in
Oakland and is now the property of Play-Rite.

Meanwhile, in 1929, when Parker took the Wurlitzer North Tonawanda
assets, Wurlitzer allowed Ralph Tussing and a small crew to keep working
in the now empty building.  This crew built new jigs and tools and
started to build new organs, very few, if any, of which were sold.  This
crew, which no longer actually worked for Wurlitzer, existed for a while
during the depression by contract organ repair and rebuild work.  

After WW2 Wurlitzer sold all band organ properties to Tussing, who sold
out later to Doyle Lane, who later sold roll cutting properties and
tools to Play-Rite, who perforate today's band organ rolls.

So, I believe Wurlitzer Band Organ rolls were cut by Wurlitzer and Parker
and Bacigalupi and Tussing and Lane and Play-Rite.

If anyone has an alternate set of facts, please add to this mystery.
