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
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?
