Seek Buyer of Band Organ Roll from Online Auction
By Dan Robinson

A rare Wurlitzer Style 125 band organ roll sold in an online auction
in January of last year. This was an early, single-tune roll, no. 1122,
"Can't You See," waltz by Albert Gumble, 1909.

I am able to access the auction listing only intermittently, so I am
attaching a screenshot of it as well as a close-up of the label on the
roll box.

This tune was not included on any later roll, and I believe this copy
to be the only surviving one. If the buyer reads this post, I would
encourage you to have the roll scanned for preservation. I can put you
in touch with the right person to do the job.

The roll data was recently added to the online Wurlitzer band organ
roll catalog, https://wurlitzer-rolls.com/125catalog/Part2a.html
