These appear to be rather rare, and I do wish I had the space for it, but alas, I do not. Does anyone with a trained eye know more about this just from the horrid photo? It looks like an Estey with an electrified blower.
I'm not sure, but the organ doesn't look like a standard Estey and looks more like it is another brand. If you see a set of 5-6 gold leaf medallions on either side of the brand label, it is a Mason & Hamlin or a Mason & Hamlin Liszt. If not, it could be a Doherty from Canada, or another brand. If you search on the reed organ database and search by the number of manuals, you might find the maker there.
Hope that helps get you started.

Way too many organs to list, but I do have 5 Allens:
In regard to the last comment muckleroy made about "those who refuse to use the above site," Firefox web browser now has an option called "Facebook container" that allows one to open or keep open a Facebook page and not have Facebook follow you around the web to other pages. I'm waiting for a little more feedback, but this might finally be what's needed to make me visit... or join. One caution - if you leave FB and follow an external link inside that container, FB *will* follow you there and to any subsequent browsing.
By jove, you found it! Imagine what that would look like with a pipe top. If it weren't for the hurricane, I'd be tempted to drive down and pick it up. This one makes me begin thinking of friends in San Antonio and whether they'd pick it up for me. I wonder if the original hand crank is still there or can be easily restored?

I do hope someone takes it and restores it, or at very least cleans it up. Unfortunately my shop space is tiny, and full up of Hammond / Leslie jobs, and my interior is reserved for one piano and one keeper organ. This is nearly double the footprint that I can fit, and after all would deserve a larger acoustical space.
Oh man! That surely is a "must have". Throw out your bed, remove the kitchen door and some of those unneccesary instruments like a stove, table and what not and go grab that beauty - see how it is tucked away in someone's garage just waiting to be carried out...
