Page 9 - Jerry Doring Collection

Throughout the rest of his life, Jerry bought, sold, and traded mechanical music in-
struments. He also amassed one of the largest roll collections known to mechanical mu-
sic collectors. Jerry loved to display his acquisitions and frequently sponsored activities for
the Music Box Society, Amica, or the Carousel Association. He corresponded with collectors
from around the world, and loved to share and exchange information pertaining to his
hobby.

Jerry was a perfectionist when it came to restoring his instruments. He often hired out
the restoration, especially as he became older, but he was very precise about his expecta-
tions. He carefully saw that all minute details were correct.
Jerry continued to enjoy and participate in his hobby up until almost his death at the
age of 91 in 2009. His wife and children are now releasing the instruments for sale nine years
after his death. They look forward to seeing another collector take ownership and appreci-
ate and enjoy them as much as Jerry did.
