Guess...

...what we bought at the school's gala dinner silent auction Saturday night?

(those of you I've told can't tell...)

Hint: It had to be hauled back to our house Sunday afternoon.

Hint #2: We had to borrow a trailer from a local caterer friend of ours to transport it over. It's now sitting in our dining room area - unfortunately, not many people can see it because it faces the back wall.

UPDATE (2/1): Oh, now you guys aren't even trying...... c'mon!

Hint #3: It requires wind to work. It contains parts that are made of ebony. It is about 95 years old, and it came from Sears.
