Notes As I recall, the stool came with the organ. I (Robert L. Hunker) painted it blue and should not have done so - but it was damaged. Painting destroyed the value - I was more into decor than historic preservation.

Provenance Originally in the Hunker family's Robinson Avenue house in Akron - Barberton. Robert L. Hunker traded a mahogany Empire chest of drawers for the organ at age 16. He took lessons for it and played it.
