FS: Barrel Organ Parts in Ohio
By George Downes Jr.

I had posted at an earlier date that there were some components that I
believe are barrel organ parts. They are currently stored in a location in
downtown Cleveland, Ohio, dry but not always heated or air conditioned.

There was a project earlier that needed to make the parts move out but
it never came to fruition. Currently these "treasures" do need to find
a new home as that space will be needed next week.

The parts that are available include two sets of [barrel organ] frames,
both approximately 50" H x 33" W x 20" D. The one frame appears to be
a storage unit. There are approximately 102 wooden pipes and 14 reed
pipes along with 4 pinned barrels. Markings indicate that it may have
been built in the late 1880s. Also other miscellaneous related parts.

The parts are available to anyone who will come to Cleveland and pick
them up, preferably this weekend. My contact information is
