Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2024-05-21 - This instrument appears to have been located in the factory of the Illinois Duster and Brush Company, which was located at 1926-1944 W. Webster Avenue in Chicago, IL. This address was found in a 1945 copy of the Federal Register here: https://books.google.com/books?id=YH9mkCaj5ggC&lpg=PA6272&ots=W1sAOv-b8R&dq=%22illinois%20duster%20and%20brush%20company%22&pg=PA6272#v=onepage&q=%22illinois%20duster%20and%20brush%20company%22&f=false This location is now the site of the Kennedy Expressway, so the organ is likely no longer extant unless it was moved prior to construction of the highway.
