Thanks,we have enjoyed it for many years, as I understand it, the clear glass front base model was $200, the art glass was an additional $20, but people were so mesmerized by watching the changing mechanism work that few were ordered with the Art Glass. This particular machine left the factory in 1906 shipping to Grohs Piano Company in Buffalo New York.

I would definitely pay the additional $20 for art glass... :lol: Seriously, that is an extremely beautiful example...
