Long story short, a Dutch music group called The Analogues use a Sipson Organola lap steel while performing their rendition of The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever". http://theanalogues.net/instrument/sipson-organola-lapsteel
An internet search didn't reveal much information so I visited this forum and searched here. I found one thread from 2007: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=116423&highlight=sipson. So now I'm reasonably sure the instrument was made by the Egmond Guitar Company.
Acoustic Guitar forum has one thread concerning Egmond Guitars. https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=529520. As it turns out, George Harrison's first guitar was an Egmond. The Egmond Guitar Company also built guitars for C. F. Martin. The thread also has a link to a two hour documentary (at least partly in Dutch) about the company.

I really hope there are folks out there with more information, history or photos of this lap steel.
Mikhail Bobrov,
Thank you for pointing out my spelling error. I've edited my initial post and corrected the spelling error.
For reference I misspelled Egmond as Edmond several times in my initial post.

So i doubt that there is a link with the Egmond brand, which was founded in the city of Eindhoven [and moved later to a smaller city called Best].
Both are in the province Brabant, while the city of Arnhem is in the province Gelderland.
Here is another picture of the lapsteel:
