Ivory Piano Keys
By Craig Smith

[ Ref. Felix Klempka in 110731 MMDigest --

Hi,  It appears that the Wood and Brooks Company survived until
about 1966.  Someone apparently donated the company records to the
Smithsonian.  Here is the record from their web site if you are in
for a trip to Washington.

Regards,
Craig Smith
