The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

These are pretty rare! The seller says that it includes a few (maybe 2) paramount records as well.

Wow I didn't know Paramount made phonographs......How rare is one?

We have a Paramount. This machine was made by United Phonograph Corp., Wisconsin, about 1920. They also made the Puritans, Wisconsin, Vista and the United brands. The mechanics are the same in the different brands (at least the models we have).

Here are some of the pictures from the Paramount from the CL ad(for posterity):

Hi phonolamplighter,

They also made the Puritans, Wisconsin, Vista and the United brands.

Are you sure they made a "Wisconsin" brand machine. Can you point me to any documentation/literature? You have piqued my interest.

Thanks,
Bob in Wisconsin
