I found a whole mess of those reeds in differant sizes, they are numbered according to their size, they where from an old organ, I found them all at an old house we were working on.

Perhaps some of these insturments you could replace reeds in for dif sounds so that a musician always had extras he carried with him and just lost some occasionaly, I'v found em in cemetaries, ghost towns and general poulated areas but I dont think ever a homstead sight

This reed came from a farm stead dating 1850 to 1960. The entire property burned the spring of 1960 in a forrest fire. The cellar hole is on the edge of a redpine plantation that I think may have been the field. Behind where the house sat is a mix of hard wood and popple trees. I started this search at the cellarhole and I am working my way out from that seems the futher I get from the hole the better the targets get Some of the things I have pulled so far

Hubley made a variety of "Rodeo" cap guns in the 1950's. I think this is probably on of them.
