History
Organ was used to attract customers to a "traveling roller skating rink" and a traveling shooting gallery in the 1930's-40's. After setting up the tent and floor of the skating rink, our father would put the organ in a 1925 Pierce Arrow and travel through small towns in the mountains of Colorado.
