Front brass plate is labeled James Thorndike, possibly the original owner. With piccolo trumpet, and wonderful sounding pipes.

The front design is not inlay around the photograph, but there is inlay around the bottom skirt, the front and side frames. Brass corner protectors to the feet, and replaced front cloth. A wonderful example of an early French street organ.
