It's an Estey!

The organ is an Estey Manufactured circa 1925.

[I believe ours - seen in an earlier comment - was also an Estey. -tterrace]

Name that organ!

Sals, I used to have a little electric organ like that, though it may not have been the same brand. Mine was called a Chordette.

Mine sounded more like an accordion than a Hammond B3, that I remember.

[I think it may be a small harmonium or pump reed organ something like this one we had around the house. -tterrace]

I agree with tterrace; that looks more like it. In those days, I used to see small pump organs; some of them came in a wooden box and my friends called them "chaplain's organs." Maybe military chaplains toted them around?

Methodist Youth Fellowship singing for shut-ins

Submitted by Sals on Mon, 05/07/2018 - 6:48am.

Looks like the MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) has brought along hymnals as they sing for shut-ins on a Sunday afternoon. Does anyone have an idea of the make of that portable organ?
