My Carpenter Reed Organ

I bought this antique, working, reed organ at Barton's Memory Lane today. It will be delivered once Catherine and I figure out how to get it here. It is very heavy. I'll be able to play again! Amy found a woman who wants to give away an upright piano. If I can get that delivered, my music room will be nearly complete. Catherine's husband took the first photo.

The Carpenter Organ Company was in Brattleboro in the 1800s. It was bought by the Estey Organ Company, the world's largest manufacturer of reed organs at that time, which was also in Brattleboro. That is about all I know about either company at this time.
