Re: A.B.Chase pump organ
Based on your images, your pump organ dates from the 1870's. The style of it is called "Eastlake", after the English designer Charles Locke Eastlake, his design book published about 1868 , his designs being very popular in North America after 1870. As for value, well pump organs are what's often called "Dust Collectors" in the trade, few people want them, most sell for under $300.00 at auction.
