Hi MM-Friends,  About Jean-Baptiste Rolin-Thomassin (1800-1860)
or the Rolin-Thomassin barrel organ, Rolin is his name and
Thommassin is his wife's name.

I can say that Rolin-Thomassin was a very well-known maker of barrel
organs in Mirecourt (Lorraine) France.  During the nineteenth
century he built a lot of salon barrel organs and also many little
church barrel organs, like in the church in Courtemaux (F) (1820).

Best regards from France,
Françoise Dussour
