You are bidding on a circa 1885-1900 Story and Clark Parlor Organ, in good working condition, with good tone. Light wood finish. Upper portion is lavishly decorated with ornamental "gingerbread" carvings as seen on the photos. This is a pick-up item only. NO delivery is available. Includes matching stool. Inspection prior to bidding is available. Please email to arrange a viewing. Story & Clark Organ Co., Chicago, IL; established in 1884 by Hampton L. Story and Melville Clark. H.L. Story organized the Story & Clark Organ Co. with Melvill Clark, a reed organ builder, along with his son, Edward H. Story. The firm was incorporated in 1888 with E.H Story as president and Melvill Clark as vice-president. The Story & Clark catalog for 1885 credits Melvill Clark with building the first organ factory in Chicago. Story & Clark organs are noted for their metal stop knobs, used from about 1885 until about 1890, and after 1890 for the beautiful pink porcelain stop knobs. Organ production ceased about 1897-99. Clark left in 1900 to start the Melville Clark CO., and the business, trademarks and patents were sold to the Ann Arbor Organ Co.
