This is a family piece, handed down, however after it traveling many thousands of kilometers with me I need to find another home for it as we are downsizing.
It's good in working order but could do with a tune up. Or, if in the right home could serve as an interesting piece of furniture. It is in immaculate condition.
A little research done and details copied from the Internet below:
Needham & Co.
172 Fulton St., 75 79 E. 13th St., New York, NY
Carhart, 97 101 E. 23rd St. 1861, 1865.
Needham Piano & Organ Co. Founded 1846 in Worcester, MA by Elias Parkman Needham and Jeremiah Carhart. They moved to Stanton St., New York in 1848 and in 1850 moved to 13th St. between Third and Fourth Avenues, New York, occupying a part of John B. Dunham's piano factory.
In 1855 Samuel C. Swartz was admitted as a partner and the company became Carhart, Needham & Co. In the same year the factory was moved to 143 147 E. 23rd St. Swartz died in 1865 and the name reverted to Carhart & Needham until 1868 when Carhart died. The company was then renamed E.P. Needham & Son. In 1880 Needham sold his patents.
Jeremiah Carhart (1813-1868) In 1846 Cahart joined Elias Parker Needham in Worcester Massachuettus. The firm moved to New York in 1848.In 1880 Needham sold his patents and retired from business.
By 1866 the firm had built fifteen thousand organs. The firm was succeeded by the Needham Piano and Organ Company of Washington and had and output of seventeen thousand organs annually in 1897.
It is a very heavy piece of furniture and if purchased would need a couple of burley fellows to remove it from my home.
I am willing to negotiate the price.
