The Frank Rider Collection - Spring Classic Part 1 - Day 2
Lot 1167:
Description
This lot includes a professional-grade mechanical organ book punch station consisting of a hand-cranked punching machine mounted on a dedicated wooden worktable, a secondary specialized punching device housed in a heavy-duty wooden storage crate, a “Boston” branded paper trimmer, and an assortment of technical schematics and instructional diagrams. These items are specialized tools utilized in the creation and maintenance of perforated cardboard music books for fairground and band organs. The equipment features heavy-duty industrial metal and hardwood construction consistent with mid-20th-century specialized workshop machinery. The condition is good, reflecting consistent use in an organ maintenance setting, with expected surface wear, light oxidation on some metallic components, and dust accumulation from long-term storage. The primary table measures H 42″, W 36″, D 20″; the additional device crate measures H 16″, W 29″, D 16″; the paper trimmer measures H 4″, W 24″, D 16″. Please see photos for condition. Note: Pickup/Transport required. Contacts available post auction.
