Description:
3 Octave Buggy Pedal Organ, c1875 by Boyd Ltd London, walnut with original decals intact. The white keys seem to be ivory and the black keys dyed boxwood. It has been in Australia for over 100 years. Most often used to provide music for the 'Snake Oil Salesman' buggy as he brought his wares to small towns to sell. This pedal organ is in perfect working condition; equipped with a volume lever, an expensive addition for its day. It has no stops and only 3 octaves and one note, making it perfect for ease of transportation
