Calliope by Nichols Mfg. of Worcester, Mass.
By Al Pebworth

Hello MMD'ers,  Can anyone shed some light on a 43-note Nichols
air calliope, allegedly made by the Nichols Manufacturing Company
in Worcester, Massachusetts?

I enjoyed the pictures and article that I found at

  http://mmd.foxtail.com/Calliope/DQ.html

Nice pictures, Don & Robbie!

Any information or sources would be greatly appreciated.

 [ Thanks for the compliment, Al.  I imagine there could be all
 [ sorts of confusion between Nichols of Worcester and calliope
