Hello, Just a heads-up of a very interesting auction coming up next
weekend, 16 Sept. 2023, at Miller & Miller Auctions in New Hamburg,
Ontario, Canada.
The Automated Musical instruments include a restored Mills Violano with
MIDI control, two Decap of Herentals Pedestal accordions and their great
Mechanical Treasures band organ, an Ampico A reproducing grand piano
and upright pianos, a music box with bells, Ragtime Automatic calliope,
Stinson Model 29 organ, Style O orchestrion and – of particular interest
– a Wurlitzer Style 146A band organ also with MIDI control, three
carousel horses and even a miniature operating model carousel with music.
Take a look at https://www.millerandmillerauctions.com/ "Petroliana,
Advertising & Music Machines Live Auction" Sept 16.
Live bidding begins 16 Sept. 2023 at 9 AM EDT. Automated musical items
begin on page 7, lot 230 to Lot 243, but there is much more interesting
advertising, toys, coin op, etc., to see.
The auction is in Canadian Dollars, which is a real benefit to USA and
European bidders as the Canadian dollar is now at an all-time low of
$1.47 = $1.00 USA. Miller & Miller are always very helpful regarding
customs clearance, shipping, etc.
New Hamburg, Ontario, is about two hours drive from either Niagara Falls
or Detroit.
Good luck,
