Rolls for "Organita" 14-note Paper Roll Organette
By Jere DeBacker

Hello Friends,  Does anyone know about music rolls for a little
Organita?  Some of the original rolls have a stamp on them.  One says
"Sole Patentees and Manufacturers, The American Automatic Organ Co.
Boston, Mass."  Other rolls say "The Mass. Organ Co. Manufacturers of
Organs & Musical Instruments, Dealers in Organettes, Etc. 43 Washington
St. Boston".  Still other rolls say "Automatic M.P. Co."

The rolls are not on a spool but rather are just rolled up.  They are
quite heavy card stock and range in width from 7-5/8 inch to 7-3/4 inch.
The holes are a good 5/16-inch wide and there are 14 holes in the scale.

Does anyone make new rolls for these little instruments?  Does anyone
copy the originals?  Any help would be most interesting.

Thanks,
Jere DeBacker
