Columbus, Georgia, circa 1952. "Churches -- St. Luke Methodist." 4x5 inch acetate negative from the Shorpy News Photo Archive. View full size.
The organ is an Estey Manufactured circa 1925.
[I believe ours - seen in an earlier comment - was also an Estey. -tterrace]
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?
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?
