QUESTION: are you sure its 1903? its an electric organ

Answer
That would be impressive if there was such thing as an electric organ in 1903! I think what happened is I looked up that number as if it wasn't an organ, but a wurlitzer piano, that number would indicate it was manufactured in 1903. I am afraid I do not have information available specifically for organs.

I apologize for the misinformation.
