Award Winning anitque Pump Organ

By dddavis, 10 October, 2009
Description

Organ is a two piece pump style organ. the wood has water damage in some flat surfaces of it and most other surfaces are nice, beautiful ornate scroll work and beveled mirror in the center of the top piece also has a cubby. This Organ won competitions when it first made its debut at the New Orleans Cotton Exposition and has the golden seals adhered to display permanently. It does have fallen keys and the bellows do not hold air, it is not in working order but the furniture is a nice antique.I have no bench or seat. it has the original upholstery on the pedals.
