Re: 1876 Chicago Cottage Organ Company Pump/Reed Organ
While some antique dealers list restored organs for over $1500.00, Pump organs are an item that is very hard to sell, and values vary a great deal depending on the local market. The vast majority in " As found" condition sell for less than $200.00 at auction, in some cases fail to even get bids, I've seen restored examples often sell for less than $500.00.
