49-7. Pierre Eich Solophone Orchestrion. This large and impressive instrument is pictured in the Bowers Encyclopedia on page 395, the bottom left photo, the instrument on the right (that the fellow has his hand on). This exceptional orchestrion has 102 pipes including Violin, Cello, Oboe, Clarinet and Saxophone. It also has a tremolo effect. Perhaps equally important, it has an unexcelled original library of 36 rolls. This is one instrument that you will want to sit and listen to for hours. Restored a number of years ago, it is now playing weakly, perhaps due to the unusual weather conditions where it is coming from in California (see - didn't think we could blame something on El Nino did you?). A very fine addition to any collection, and one of only a handful in the States. |

We have just purchased this and should have it by mid- January. We understand it was working well 10 years ago but probably needs some rework now. Natural oak finish. Takes the popular 148 rolls. Tentatively priced at (Click on picture for enlarged details) 38-8. 10-Tune Cylinder Music Box with 13" Cylinder.

77-7. Early Capital Cuff Box Early Style "A". All of the Capitol Cuff Boxes are very scarce, having been made for only a short period by the F.G. Otto Company. This style, which is the earliest of models made, is the scarcest and most decorative mechanically. Has the unusual coil spring drive with a very decorative tri-corner casting. This is currently being restored, and should be exceptionally nice when done. With six cuffs. |
