Here is one you don't see very often. A Pathé Jacobean (Art type Model) cabinet Phonograph from 1919. This is pictured on page 115 of "Pathé Records and Phonographs in America, 1914-1922". Too bad it has been refinished, but still an odd and rare sight today.

Yah, never seen this one. Nice cabinet + wood carvings.

I am struck by the extra small size of the horn. This seems to be a issue with Pathé machines?

[Valecnik]

Very attractive cabinet. I'm also struck by the small size of the horn. Apparently appearance took precedence over acoustics which is odd because the earlier European Pathé machines often had very large horns relative to the size of the cabinet.

Very attractive cabinet.

I agree, it’s definitely an eye-catching design. I can’t say that I’ve seen many non-rectangular machines.

I wonder how effective it is to set a reserve and tell what it is in the description—I assume that it’s to get more people to look at the machine because they think it’s cheaper...

This auction is for a wonderful PATHÉ MODEL XXI PATHÉPHONE PHONOGRAPH. I am told this was the top of the line model and they are not easily found. This one works great, I am listening to a record as I list it. As you can see by the pictures, this one is in very, very good condition for its age. It is from the early 1900s. The case is oak with spoon carvings and rope twist legs. It appears to have been refinished at some point. The left door does have a split down it where the wood separated. This could be filled with a wax stick and you would never see it. This is more than a great crank up phonograph, it is truly a stunning piece of furniture. The speed control works, the volume control works, there is a hidden drawer for storage. Serial #2697. It measures approx. 48" wide x 20" deep x 37 ¾" tall. It is set up for local pick up only. I will hold the item for you as long as you need to come and pick it up. (Once it is paid for in full.) I can meet you somewhere. I can do delivery (please check with me on a delivery charge). What ever it takes to get you this wonderful piece!!! I do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime as it is for sale in our store for $485.00. So if it were to sell here I would end this auction. The reserve is only $300.00. We purchased this item out of a private estate here in our local area. Please look at our pictures so you can see for yourself what a wonderful item this is!!! And remember a picture can't even begin to capture the true beauty of an item.

At least they had the good sense to put a 1920's acoustic Cameo record on the turntable, but I do see an early 50's MGM 78rpm in the record storage compartment. The Pathé is obviously sitting in some 2nd hand, or antique shop somewhere in Ohio.
