Cyclo-Phone Herzog Cabinet #742

[CrackedWormgear]

This appeared last week at a local estate sale.

 

The asking price was $2900 OBO. I believe it finally went for $2300. It was a package deal including the Fireside sitting on top. Along with four boxes of cylinders. I only investigated the top box. I pulled out Blue Amberol #5044 with original lid. “Yes Sir, That’s My Baby”. After that I decided to not look any further.

 

This was way too much for me to deal with. And also like others here, have run out of room!

 

But I did come home with a neglected Edison Triumph #E plus a “Little Orphan Annie” lamp shade.

 

The original owner was a prominent local. Involved with the fire department and other endeavors.

 

It is nice to see stuff like this now and then. I really do think there’s still many interesting phonograph finds still out there.
