I've seen plenty of Dutch Street Organs on youtube that were built by one company,then restored or changed by another company and put that company's logo on the instrument.
This Organ was built in 1908 by the Gavioli & Cie or the Limonaire Frères subsidiary in Waldkirch (Germany, Black Forest) NOT PARIS !!! Originally this was a 68 key(less?) cardboard operated organ. Around 1930 this organ has been changed for playing music rolls with 66 holes, Style 109 (Airophon)by Gebrueder Bruder, Waldkirch.
That's good to know.:)

Amapola - meaning Pretty Little Poppy!

That seems like a very logical possibility.

I believe "Gavioli" is a generic term used in France for an organ of this type.
