FS: Berry-Wood Ex-nickelodeon
By Jerry Wagner

It's not everyday that one finds a nickelodeon in the wild!  Last week
I found a Berry-Wood.  It looks like a Style C except it has two large
doors on the bottom frame, like a Style F, rather than a single panel.
The action and keys are in good shape.  All the player components are
missing -- you can see various screw holes.

The piano is nearly 32 inches deep so it had an extra instrument at one
time.  It was a rewind type.  There are several original wooden plugs
in the soundboard that would have been removed if it were the continuous
type with the spool frame outside on the back of the piano.

The hammer rail has a large Englehardt decal with four 'Exposition'
gold medals.  A Berry-Wood metal plaque is affixed on the top-right
of the cast iron frame covering whatever name was there (likely
Englehardt).  The piano is now in my home in Alameda, and I don't have
the time to fix it up.  If you're interested, let me know.
