Long Description
This is a working pump organ manufactured by the Estee Organ Co. in Mattleboro, Vt.. The serial # indicates it was made between 1899 and 1901.
It is a two part organ. The keyboard and pump section and a carved top section that sits on top of the main section with a beveled glass in it. I have been told that there are very few of these left that hav both parts since the top part is rather fragile. It has been completily refinished and has a beatiful stain and the keys work. It actually makes a great piece of furniture in a hall or entry as well as a working organ. I can take pictures and add them if it helps.
History
The item has been in Houston since at least the 1950s.
