Antique Clariona Reed Organ & Rolls

This antique Clariona paper-roll reed organ, manufactured in the late 19th century by the Mechanical Orguinette Company of New York, stands as a prime example of Victorian mechanical music technology. Constructed with a rich wood cabinet featuring incised decorative line work, a hand-crank mechanism, and an internal bellows assembly, this instrument includes two original paper rolls (Clariona Roll 71 and Clariona Roll 72) alongside instruction sheet documentation from The Musical Museum. Visually, the piece displays age-appropriate surface dust, light wood wear, scratches, and finish fading throughout, while the underside reveals intact replacement or re-typed bellows cloth; please note that the instrument has not been tested for playability due to the delicate condition of the historic paper rolls. H 10.75", W 14", D 10". Please see photos for condition.
