Hoping someone can give us some direction -- Pedal Organ, we were told from the late 19th century; where would the manufacturer's mark/name be? There was something written deep inside the back of it, that appeared to begin with the letter "O". Fabric to properly repair the bellows has been ordered, in the meantime, my nephew was able to do a temp fix and it plays beautifully! If you recognize this organ, please give us a shout; in the meantime, we are researching!! -- hoping to find the maker and the year; thanks to all!
Brunswick, thanks for the great compliment! Thanks for the love also; and thanks to Nicefice, PhilDMorris, and mikelv85 for the love!
That's a very nice instrument MFT. There should be a manufacturers label somewhere. Surprised it wasn't on the panel by the stops on the keyboard. It might be a "Crown" pump organ if there's an "o" from what you mentioned. That would date it to the late 1800's. :)
Thanks OfficialFuel, ttomtucker, fort, and mikelv85 for the loves; mike, fixing to start digging now (researching, and going to start with Crown); this organ was given to my nephew recently, he has great love for music; he also acquired a Victrola recently, I'll have to post a picture of that some day.
kyratango, thank you!
beautiful!! I bet it plays very well!!
Thanks Sean! It plays BEAUTIFULLY!
Your very welcome MyFavoriteTreasures!!
Otaco4me, thank you for the love; still haven't figured out the maker of this organ!
What a nice organ MFT, and it looks in excellent condition too!
Rick, thank you; the organ is in unbelievably great condition -- and it plays beautifully! We just can't seem to find a manufacturer mark : (
But we will keep trying! I had emailed an organ restoration specialist, and he said it may have been refinished, that could have covered a maker's mark. Doesn't look refinished to me, but I am no expert LOL
Thank you very much, ttomtucker!

Nevada, thanks!
@MyFAVORITE; Your Welcome. Great site as once you register, they also sent you out a certificate saying that it is register with the site, and your ID number with them. So kinda neat -- as put that info away -- cuz IF you ever needed something for proof ( eg Like for Insurance purpose ) you would know you got it on file there.
I hope more people with Reed organs, old organs ....etc will do this.
