Reed organ companies during this era made such massive cases as evidenced by looking at the very unusual side handles of this organ! Seller has never seen such handles like this.
#ESTEY ORGAN COMPANY BRATTLEBORO VT SERIAL NUMBER#
If there is a serial number in the back it should not be too hard to determine the age of this heavy, heavy carved reed organ.
VT in the late 1870's or very early 1880"s at best. Here we have an very elaborate Estey Walnut Reed Organ made in Barttleboro. So I have added those pictures and the serial number is 33335. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for taking the time to view my ad! Please note that I have added more pictures below* I had a couple of nice fellow ebayers help me figure out where to find the serial number. Please review the pictures for a further idea of the condition. Measurements are: 46" wide, 22" in depth and 38-1/2". It does work when the straps were in place but I am sure it needs to be tuned. Had new straps made for the pedals, but those have now come off and I have conditioned the wood many times over the years. The only things I have done to this is replace the fabric on the pedals. This belonged to my great grandma and I hate to get rid of it but I do not have the room for it anymore. And also has some pretty carvings, see the pictures below. But the wood itself is in excellent condition. I also do not know what kind of wood this is made of. It does have the number 5525 on the back if that means anything. I have tried to figure out when this was made and have not been successful. This is an antique pump/reed organ made by Estey Co.
