BILHORN BROTHERS ORGAN CO.
ROS Reg No. 6518
IDENTIFICATION
STYLE 80 // 7650
This seems very similar to Bilhorn Brothers Models C, K, O - as listed in the ROS Database, and appears to have been imported / sold by Marshall Brothers in London. The original Patent/Patents Pending part of the logo is very worn; above which would have been a Bilhorn Brothers logo of some sort as per similar photos in the ROS Database. I can only assume this was sold with minimal branding to the UK market, whereby Marshall Brothers have simply placed their transfer above it. Curious...
HISTORY
This organ had been in the previous owner's family since the early 1900s, and was apparently used by the Southern Counties Village Colportage and Evangelistic Mission during its early life in the county of Hampshire, UK.
