Organette made by J. M. Draper of Blackburn
Bought at Laurence Fisher's 2025 Auction in Eastbourne for a princely £20.
The underside has a paper sheet (see below) with the maker's details and instructions on how to load the paper rolls. It reads:
By Royal Letter Patent. No 12,670 (twice)
Sole Patentee and Manufacturer. J. M. Draper, "English" Organette Works, Higher Audley Street
Blackburn.
Sole Patentee and Manufacturer.
This will be a long term restoration project as I need to learn everything from scratch.
