Hi Robbie,  No one bid on this organ; there was a opening reserve
price of $14,000.  It did not sell.

> Item #93891647  Wurlitzer style 120 band organ, circa 1900, activated
> by a wooden pinned barrel and plays ten American tunes.  Organ has the
> original crank to play the movement presently ...  Organ is in mint
> condition inside and out and was 100% restored in 1990 by Mike Kitner.
