FOR SALE: Edison Standard Model B Phonograph with Two Decorative Horns, Small Brass Horn, and Spare Parts

[dickhollis]

 

This phonograph has been in our family for generations, but the current generation isn't interested in continuing to keep it, so I'm looking forward to pass it on to someone who'll appreciate it. Photos included below. (Cylinders from this same collection are listed separately.)

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• Edison Standard Phonograph, serial #S338651 — appears to be a Model B based on the crank type, speed control position, and end gate (open to correction from anyone who can confirm from the photos or patent plate). Dates to roughly 1905 based on serial number ranges I've seen referenced. Oak case, "Edison Standard Phonograph" banner decal is clear and intact, mechanism has the Thomas A. Edison signature mandrel assembly. Professionally reconditioned by a phonograph specialist a few years ago and works fine — turns smoothly, plays properly.

• Small brass "morning glory" style horn, currently mounted — appears to be a standard Edison-style horn.

• Two large decorative “witch’s hat” style horns painted red-to-gold sunburst finish, scalloped petal edges. Not original Edison horns as far as I can tell — more likely aftermarket/decorative. One retains most of its original paint; the other has notable paint loss/flaking (see photos).

• Spare parts included — see picture

CONDITION NOTES: Machine mechanism is in good working order (see reconditioning note above). Large horns show wear as described above.

PRICE: Open to offers on the machine, horns, and spare parts as a set, or willing to discuss splitting items out separately (e.g., horns, or spare parts) if that works better for interested buyers. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll work with you.
