Small organ found in Forest Lake, MN in an open garage full of junk. As a player piano tech I was amazed to find the air system as tight as the day it was made (when pumped the air reservoir collapses and stays that way. Single notes can be played for around 20 seconds without pumping another stroke.) Very basic cabinet and two stops. Only missing one "Patent Orgel" wording on right pump pedal and Mezzoforte label on right stop (I have seen a picture of one very similar so I know what it says). Top and bottom keys (C keys) not connected, hanging. Right knee control operates Mezzoforte. Has two brass candle holders that swing in arcs on music desk. Name plate on front was scotch-taped and threatens to rip if tape is pulled away, but very readable. Label inside back of organ in good shape. Had an old cloth that covered rear openings, looks original.
