I am trying to identify the model or style of the Aeolian Orchestrelle
shown in the attached photograph. I have a few old Aeolian catalogs
plus the Bowers Encyclopedia and I have not been able to find one that
looks like this.

This instrument is in original condition as far as I can tell and,
thus, does not play. I don't know what criteria, such as stops, are
used to identify the style of the instrument.

It will be coming on the market in the coming weeks. Any help will be
appreciated.
