Baby Jeanette not the usual?
I recently purchased this BabyJeanette phonograph and I'm looking for some information on when it was made and if it's a rarer model because of the Pressed cardboard horn design. All the other Baby Jeanette I've seen have a metal arm that's attached directly to the top of the base.

I've not seen one of these before, so I rotated the image...

No, but how much did you pay for it? And, does it work and have a crank?Oldphonyguy+4422 wrote:Thank you for rotating the picture.....looks better now. Does anyone have an idea of what this is worth?
The reproducer/tonearm are sitting on the wrong side of the turntable, for what it's worth....

It was made by Jeannette Toy & Novelty Company of Jeannette, PA... not the same as "Baby" machines made in Ohio.

Re: Baby Jeanette not the usual?
Thanks for the information. I purchased it for $54.00 and it came with a key to wind it with. It works fine. Does anyone know where I can find out more about this machine or other models that this company made?
