Phonographs seen at Brimfield today

Post by estott »

I was at the Brimfield MA flea market today, here are most of the talking machines I saw- there are a lot less available than in past years. I didn't take careful note of models and prices so please bear with my probably faulty memory.

A really sweet and diminutive Grafonola in a case resembling a parlour table- but the louvers are gone. Offered at $495

Not a phonograph of course, this Western Electric coin piano was playing up a storm. That's a Rock-ola jukebox behind it.

is that a regular flea market? seems to have a lot of machines at decent prices, even if they're generally common (or occasionally stripped or antiqued). that columbia parlor model is interesting.

The Brimfield Shows are held three times during the summer (may, july, september) and run from tuesday through sunday. There are quite a few fields full of dealers, it used to be a fabulous place but Ebay has taken the edge off of it.

Yeah, Brimfield used to be the MacDaddy flea -- one of 'em anyway. I hate eBay sometimes (most times).
