In the late 1880's to 1890's, Larkin Soap Co. would give out this particular Roller Organ to patrons after purchasing $10 worth of their products. The cylinder included is called a "cob" and within the organ is a bellowing instrument. The cabinet is made of oak with a black base, includes a glass window, and is accented by slight gold details and a simple hand painted floral motif on the interior. The Roller Organ is played manually as the crank is consistently being spun and the sounds are exceptional. There is minor wear throughout the housing.
Condition: (Very Good - Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 12-1/2"T x 18-1/2"W x 15"D.
