Here are some poor copies of a flyer that lists it at $35, but does not even use the Concert name (yet?).

Nice flyer, Andreas.

Re: Can anyone identify this model of Zonophone?
In George's picture you can see the weird backmount with a solid tonearm. Apparently to avoid patent problems, the tonearm does not have a U tube or joint for up and down motion, but rather the backmount has a swivel connection to the one piece tonearm... The crank should be an S type as shown in the picture.

Re: Can anyone identify this model of Zonophone?
This exactly like the machine I have, (without some parts). I have the horn and the elbow and am just missing the backmount, tone arm, reproducer, and crank. Well, I guess I will have to start looking around for these parts. I am truly fascinating with the idea that it started out as a front mount and was converted in factory to a rear mount. Definately worth some research. Thanks everyone for all the help you have provided. I have downloaded pictures of your machine so I can see what I need to find.

I own one similar as far i researched i think it's a Concert Grand 1901 converted at the factory in 1906 when rear mount came out with tapered tone and reproducer just like a Victor Exhibition and one of the loudest machines iv'e ever owned.I found it with the brass horn like one pictured in brochure i just switched horn with my 1907 Zonophone Concert because i like the look!

Is there a website, similar to the Victor Victrola Page, that allows you to date Zonophones by serial number?
