Here's your chance to own a part of musical history! This catalog was part of the advertising material for a long-out-of-business historical name in pipe organ building: The Gratian Organ Builders. At the time of its acquisition by another company in the late 1970's, it was the OLDEST ONGOING ORGAN COMPANY IN AMERICA!
The Gratian Organ Builders firm was founded in 1858, one year prior to the O'Dell Organ Company, which was founded in 1859.
Fortunately, these obviously very costly-to-produce catalogs were carefully stored away and are brand-new-old stock.
Shown for the listing picture is a photo of the cover of this catalog. Below are additional photos of several of the pages within the catalog:
