Database Manager on April 18, 2015:

Updated through online information from scot huntington. -- If a stock model instrument, this would have been Size No. 8, (see the OHS publication "the Hook Opus List"). The church acquired a tubular-pneumatic 2-15 Reuben Midmer & Sons installed in the rear gallery in 1914, most likely the replacement for this instrument.
