Columbia Grand Questionaires

The picture is with the 5, but I recently put the "strange " #4 with the lift finger on it ( the one I emailed you about).

Good morning,
I recently purchased an HG columbia. When I saw it on the internet, I couldn't resist!!!!
I've posted it in this thread, in case Chuck wants to update the database.

Ferran,

Thanks for posting your HG, I already had that one in the database from the Stanton auction in January. It's been slow collecting new data for these machines. I could use more
information on the Grands to fill in some serial number "holes"

From the 32 HG machines I have data on, it appears the first model had a run of about 2100 units and the 2nd model HG about 1200 units.
I have 49 AG machines recorded, it appears to have been a good seller. There appears to have been three runs, the first was about 3000 units, the second was also about 3000 units
and the last less than 1000 units

The AB was the best seller at 10,000 units

If you haven't "donated" your Grand info I would appreciate it. I'll gladly share the info I have acquired on them to anyone (except who owns them)

Chuck,

I have 3 Columbia G machines. The other two, an AB and an HG (1), I already noticed that you had them registered. Anyway, I'll give you the serial numbers:

HG (1) 2089
HG(2) 6128
AB 752405

Regards,

Columbia HG:
Serial number 5149
New York & London
2nd style? (Fancy case)
Reproducer? #4 or 5 - not sure

Kent,

Thanks for posting info, but I have 5149 from the previous owner. If the reproducer wasn't changed it was a #4

I posted this pictorial of the various Grand reproducers on the forum awhile ago:
