Help, fellow listers!

Our museum has a pump organ - I know very, very little about organs in
general, and not much about this one in particular.  What I do know is that
it was made in Chicago in the late 1800's/early 1900's and transported to
Issaquah, WA in the 1970's.  The former museum director accepted it into the
collection because it was a nice antique, and it has nothing to do with our
mission, or the history of the town.  And it takes up a lot of space. We
would like to deaccession and sell it, but I'm not sure how to go about
this.  Does anyone have experience with getting rid of this kind of
artifact?  The first challenge is finding a method of disposal; the second
is transporting the organ.
