Wurlitzer Style 28B Mandolin PianOrchestra
Philipps Pianella Model 28 (Victoria)
(Gilson collection, 1997)

According to Ron Cappel, who restored the little PianOrchestra, cut-outs for the round leather belts that operated an animated scene, along with other definite clues, were still visible, indicating that the current art glass panel replaced the originally installed and more troublesome animated scene. Noting the quality and style of the art-glass, which is consistent with glass used by Wurlitzer during the life-cycle years of this instrument, it is probable that the Wurlitzer factory installed the art glass panel when the machine was refurbished for re-sale circa 1919.
