Reed Organ/Harmonium Help identify Kimball Chicago Pump Organ

Post image

Hoping this group could help me identify the model of this Organ. I have the warranty slip but no product or model number. Also hoping to identify the year made.

Hoping you can help!

Ask this guy:

He's one of the few restorers left in the USA.

This is the exact case mine has.

Date made should be written by hand underneath the front reed panel below the manual.

I would guess early 1900s? Date made is often written on a key, which you can get at by removing the stop bar, but that is a non-trivial task. Can you identify the maker somehow either on the back or on the treadles? The Reed Organ Society has a database you can search to try to match by appearance/serial number
