FS: National 53-note Calliope & Cadillac
By Dave Bowers

I offer for sale my original National 53-note calliope, circa 1921,
restored and maintained by well-known craftsman and restorer Tim
Westman, one of the finest in the business.  This was built circa 1921
by Harrington, plays style "A" rolls, and has a nice supply with it.
It is powered by a modern Honda gasoline engine and is mounted in
a compact, custom made parade-show wagon.

I have had the calliope since the early 1980s, and it has been a
sensation in local and regional parades, fairs, political events, and
more.  With it is a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, never restored,
but maintained in running condition -- a durable performer for the 25
years I have had it.  Both the Cadillac and the wagon are maroon.

The calliope and wagon are offered for $16K in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire,
or for $24,500 the Cadillac as well.

I have enjoyed this for many years.  It will be ideal if you would like
a beautiful showpiece, with great music, that will attract a lot of
attention.  Photos available.  Subject to prior sale or price change
without notice.  Inquiries to
