This company built the keys used in key frames of the theatre pipe organs (AKA "Unit Orchestras") built by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Manufacturing Company in North Tonawanda, NY. It would seem logical to believe that Wood & Brooks manufactured the keys for the pianos manufactured at that location as well.
