SALES LIST
COIN OPERATED
PIANOS/ORCHESTRIONS ------------------------------------------
Two "A" Style Coin Pianos - Coinola and Berry-Wood. We took these two coin pianos in with another item that we really wanted to buy, but these are taking up too much space for their value and we would like to move them out quickly so we are pricing them to sell. One is a Coinola with art glass, seems complete, missing bottom board, fall board is locked so I can't see the keyboard, photos: The second one is a scarce Berry-Wood with nice etched and beveled glass, complete except missing the bottom board and the coin insert (and the coin mechanism?), some veneer is lifting, photos: Buy either one for $1250 or buy the pair for @2,000. You arrange to have them picked up. One roll (on the machines) with each. [HOLD]
Group of Re-Cut Recordo Reproducing
Piano Rolls. 10 re-cut rolls. $25. Updated May 4, 2007 ------------------------------------------ OZ-57 Wonderful Gavioli Fairground Organ ex. Museum! Wonderful large and fabulous sounding Gavioli fairground organ with a delightful “dance” sound in many of the arrangements. Overall the façade is 15’ 4” wide by 11’ 2” high. Center section is 60” wide, 76” high, 63” deep, without top pieces. Side chests 34” wide, 76” high, 21” deep with out façade pieces. In addition there are side wings and top sections. Large and very decorative façade in a number of pieces, repainted with very nice decorative women and background scenes. Overall this spectacular organ façade is over fifteen feet wide! Includes three carved figures that are fairly recent creations – two bell ringers (probably made by Arthur Prinsen) and a conductor (we haven’t figured out how these were hooked up). 59 Key but sounds much larger. Playing very well, we have had it “tweaked” a bit – has not had a full restoration, but sounds and plays just great. This great organ has about 210 pipes as follows: 2 X 16 Cellos in the side cabinets; 2 X 16 Bourdon in the lower front; 2 X 16 Vox Celeste; 2 X 18 Violin; 18 Piccolors; 18 Trumpets; 6 Trombones; 6 Stopped Bass; 6 Octave Bass; 6 Cello Bass; 2 X 9 Accompaniment (9 Cello, 9 Stopped Flute), all operating with seven registers. An enormous amount of book music, approximately 135” – much of it brand new from Tom Meijer, one of the very best arrangers in Europe – this library of music is very valuable in itself. Provenance; This organ spent many years as the centerpiece aat Tom Fretty’s “Tom’s Country Market & Musical Museum” in Manly, Iowa and was seen and enjoyed by tens of thousands of visitors. [Now on permanent display at the Gavioli Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas] OZ-59 BAB Band Organ. This neat organ is marked “BAB Organ Company, Brooklyn, NY”. This organ has plenty of power, and sounds great. May have had a drum at one time but doesn’t now. Plays BAB 46-note rolls (ten included). Three stops. Plain front, with approximately twelve rolls. $14,500. ------------------------------------------
