I recently purchased a reed playing monkey or hand organ with a
medallion on the front that reads:

   VACLAV SLAVIK
   HONOVICICH
   HOTOVITEL HARMONIK

It has a six tune pinned barrel and plays 28 notes. It is similar in
style and size to a small Molinari hand organ but has a rather plain
grain painted case instead of the fancy Molinari inlay work. It appears
to be from the turn or the century or earlier.

Is anyone familiar with this organ or the firm that made it? I am unable
to find anything about it in any of the references that I have.
