This early looking Chicago Electric cabinet piano was in the Wes Crocheron collection, circa 1970. It has a Monarch Tool & Mfr. Company spoolbox and pump. The current whereabouts of this piano and its serial number are unknown. In this photograph the case detail of the front columns is much clearer than in the preceding example. |

Interior of the Wes Crocheron collection's early looking Chicago Electric cabinet piano, circa 1970. The Monarch Tool & Mfr. Company spoolbox and pump are clearly visible. The stack in this instance does not have the xylophone tubing header on the right front cover, as does the Chicago Electric in the first two picture panes. Judging by the case style, both are identical, the two instruments might seem to be of the same vintage. However, the differences in the stack xylophone connections suggest otherwise, although any conclusions based on the scanty evidence at hand are but mere speculation. |
