Brand new 1953 Winter spinet

[Farrell]

I ran into that one a couple months ago in a little church way out in the orange groves. Hey, wait a minute...........that condemned church piano had the same initials carved into the fallboard as the one I ran into yesterday..........................  You think?.............
