Antique Phonograph Reproducer Pat. Date Jan. 12 1892 ???

Post by Curt A »

This must be the earliest disc record reproducer in history... Also, the only self contained one with no tonearm connection... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, it appears to be a burner from a gas dish warmer (think early Sterno)...

It's a methylated spirit burner! We used those as kids on camping trips. :lol:
