This is an antique Abraham Prescott Concord NH wooden lap organ and it has the year 1845 etched in by the top small nameplate. It is in nice condition for it's age and it does fold up and down as it should and produces a loud clean musical squeezebox type sound and the sound changes when you press the buttons and that is the extent that I can test it. A few of the buttons are stuck in the down position and the others pop up and down when you push them, and the top slide lever moves and opens the piece and I show a photo of the inside area of the top. The side bellows don't look to have any noticeable type tears on them and the material feels solid on them and when you are playing it, the air is escaping from the bottom left corner area. The wood top control area does show some scratches and finish wear and I show a number of photos of the entire piece. It measures 19" by 10 1/2" when measuring the wood area, and the tallest end of the piece stands 10" high. It will be packed very well with care and shipped right out.
