This Aeolian style D Orchestrelle was first sold in the spring of 1900. The 58-note player instrument is, in reality, a player reed organ. It is not of the class of the higher quality, and much larger, Solo Orchestrelle units which used pressure on the reeds rather than vacuum as in this style D.
A fun feature of these early player instruments are the ragtime/cake walk/ march rolls. Here is some march music from around 1899 on Aeolian Grand roll 20039 "Habsburg March" by J. N. Kral.
