Anybody familiar with Excelsior Werke disc machines?
While I've encountered many Excelsior cylinder machines, this is the first disc player I've ever seen. Marked on the reproducer and an inlaid celluloid disc.

Re: Anybody familiar with Excelsior Werke disc machines?
Cylinder and disc machines produced by the Excelsiorwerke of Cologne were marketed in the UK up to 1914 by J.G.Murdoch & Company, one of the largest gramophone retailers of the period. The cylinder machines are fairly common in the UK, but the disc machines are not.
