I was blown away by this item. Never, ever heard of it before. Wish oh wish I could hear one play!

1. Very cool. My aunt has one that has 2 handles you turn to

turn the roll. The faster you turn, the faster it plays. Unfortunately most of the rolls are turning to dust.

2. What a weird item. It looks like a toilet paper holder run amok.

3. when I first saw the pic, I thought it was actually corn cobs for a moment

Now THAT would be primitive.

4. hey! there are cob rollers on eBay, and there are videos on you tube!

I haven't watched them yet but am looking forward to it a great deal.

5. A Gem roller organ. We have one.

Ours is in muuuuch better condition. Playing condition. It sounds like a little organ, like an accordian.
