Speaking of eBay, can anyone tell me more about #25430 Trademark on
a Seeburg F piano?  I have searched the Trademark and Patent site with
no success.  This document is on eBay under Seeburg Piano and has shown
up several times.  I wonder if it is bogus or what since all trademarks
and patents can be found on the US Patent web site.

I spent way too many hours searching the patents for patents on
nickelodeon pianos and perforators.  It is a guess that the rolls cut
for the American Photoplayer were one to one copies.  It is the patent
on that perforator that I have been searching.

For those of you with time to waste there are more patents on roll
perforators and player piano parts than you can imagine.  Finding them
is the trick as roll perforators are under many different categories.
