Description

C P Bowlby Princess Victorian Parlor Organ. Excellent condition, carved oak cabinet, all pieces intact, nothing broken. Original mirrors have some aging to silvering, see photos. Carving is in excellent original condition.
Charles P Bowlby, originally a cabinet maker, got into the organ making business with  Hiram Alleger and Edward Plotts, later branching out on his own. This Princess model dates from around 1880. It is in surprisingly good condition for being 140 years old.
Plays excellent!  All 10 stops functioning.
These include:
Melodia, Viola, Melodia, Vox Humana, Treble Coupler, Bass Coupler, Dulciana, Diapason, Celeste and Flute. Knee swells function as well.
The 2 brass plates in pic #3 are believed to go on the foot pedals.
