I have put, at the Musica Mechanica web site, some more pictures of
some instruments to be sold in Chartres (France) on Dec. 6th 1998.
For the pleasure of your eyes, in addition to the already visible
instruments (my message of the 16th), you may look at :
= A double-horn phonograph
= An Oehrlin organ with automatas
= A piano melodico
= A French serinette and two musical boxes
= A large street Wilhelm Bruder Soehne Barrel Organ (Waldkirch).

For a complete 40-page printed catalog with pictures (black and white
and color, price fifty French francs, you will receive it next week),
please ask directly the auctioneer (not me), and specify that you want
the English translation with it:
