It's a family heirloom. I'm the sixth and last generation in my family to possess this organ. My great-great-great grandparents bought it in Lorain County, Ohio for their daughters. In the 1970's my grandfather corresponded with a former employee of the Estey factory in Brattleboro, Vermont, and obtained a certificate noting the date of manufacture. He restored it to working condition then, but it has since deteriorated to where it no longer plays.
