Lee Harvey Oswald’s personally-owned and -used child’s organ. The Magnus electric organ measures 11 x 7 x 6, with 15 white keys and 10 black keys. Organ was purchased by his mother as a Christmas gift in 1953 when he was 14 years old. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Oswald’s brother Robert, which reads, in part: “Mother bought my brother Lee an electric organ for Christmas 1953…He loved to play on it, especially ‘Chopsticks’ and ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ which was his favorite song. In 1976 or 1977, Mother gave me Lee’s electric organ…This organ was mentioned in Jean Stafford’s 1966 book, ‘A Mother in History,’ a decade before Mother transferred ownership to me…I certify that this Magnus organ was owned and played by my brother, Lee Harvey Oswald.” In fine working condition, with a couple surface cracks to the front of the case.
