Here is an ash tray that shows both records and grafanolas. It is 5.5 inches wide.

This is a record display stand I assume for a record store. There is a knob on the back that allows the record to move up and down. It is 26.75 inches tall.

A 1939 ladies compact with the image of a record on top. It is 3.5 inches wide.

The puff and some powder still exist inside and it still has a faint scent as well. The mirror is perfect.

Here is the record that is used on the compact.

I do not have much in the way of a Columbia gizmo or gadget but only this more common brake. I have never used it because I do not want to make new holes on my machines!!

Here is a Columbia Records box for the asian market that I picked up at the APS Expo last Summer. It is interesting because it has a number of record slips inside that I assume describe the records that were in the box. But, I don't really know what they say.

这是我去年夏天在APS博览会上拿到的面向亚洲市场的Columbia Records盒子。有趣的是,它内部有许多记录单,我假设它们描述了包装箱中的记录。但是,我真的不知道他们在说什么。

Dan - do you know if this was used to ship records to the orient or to domestic dealers selling Chinese records?

 

John

I am not really sure. It could be either. Perhaps to China Towns in various cities in the USA. But, I really do not know.
