Shropshire. See more about '"RARE.EDISON STANDARD PHONOGRAPH" + TWO HORNS" GWO.N/R' Description changqin Store     WITH ALL THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CANNOT DUPLICATE. ONE IS THE SOUND OF AN "EDISON PHONOGRAPH" IF YOU HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO THE SOUND. GO TO www.youtube.com AND THEN PUNCH IN EDISON PHONOGRAPH. AND IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW THEY WORK AND SOUND. THIS ONE IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, AND COMES WITH TWO HORNS. ONE WHAT IS CALLED A WITCHES HAT. AND THE OTHER IS FOR LISTENING WHEN NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR BUT YOU? OR FOR RECORDING ON A BLANK CYLINDER. AND OF COURSE BUY A SMALL REPRO HORN FOR ABOUT £30 ANYWHERE. AS THE COST OF SHIPPING OF THE MACHINE ABROAD SMALL. BUT THE SIZE OF THE LARGE HORN WOULD BE TO EXPENSIVE. THIS IS A VERY EARLY MODEL WITH THE NUMBER S113634 AND DATES TO Oct 18th. 1892 ONLY FOUR YEARS AFTER THE FIRST ONE WAS MADE. SINCE I LISTED THIS ITEM I WAS TOLD BY AN EXPERT THAT THE SILVER BAR ON TOP, IN THE FRONT WAS RARE. AS IT WAS ONLY MADE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. AND WAS USED FOR GOING BACK ON THE CYLINDER A SHORT WAY. FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, SO THEY COULD REPEAT THE WORDS. IT IS OF COURSE A MODEL (A) AS IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST. THE MODEL (C) REPRODUCER WAS MADE FOR EDISON BY 'PHONO.CO' AND OF COURSE IS A DIAMOND (NEEDLE) THERE IS A PLAQUE ON THE FRONT THAT READS. "MADE FOR INTERNATIONAL TEXTBOOK CO. SCRANTON. PA. NATIONAL PHONOGRAPH CO." NOW THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS RARE EDISON. I SAY RARE NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE AGE. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT WORKING, OR MISSING THE DIAMOND. SO BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING AT AUCTIONS. AS THEY ARE BECOMING VERY HARD TO FIND ONE IN WORKING ORDER. THIS ONE OF COURSE IS COMPLETE WITH WINDING HANDLE, HORNS, TOP AND A CYLINDER. SO I WISH YOU ALL GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING. AND BE SURE TO VIEW MY MANY OTHER ITEMS. SUCH AS CLOCKS, MICROSCOPES, BAROMETERS AND MUCH MORE.
