Neat Edison poster

[ts_13]

Buddy of mine has this, but I am sure I will get it soon. It says 1899 models, but I cannot seem to find any info or others like it. Anyone else have one like this? any info?

Thanks as always.

Wish it was still possible to get a suitcase Home A with Bettini attachment from $8.50

It's even more interesting to see these old offers, (although the ones Ive seen have been a bit later) that say something like, "$15 down payment and $2 monthly with a final payment of $1.68 after two years.

I often think about that, would be nice to see the ad and be able to have walked in and bought a nice machine or even those records that we want. A new Columbia Q for 5.00 U.S. currency.

You might have missed the fine print, "from $8.50".

Yes, that is a Bettini Attachment on the Home.

I should point out that I've never seen an original of this particular poster, but plenty of reproductions. Some have U.S. dollar amounts, while others are in pounds/pence. I bought one of these posters from Tom Pollard back in the early 1970s. A few years later, it occurred to me that no Edison Phonograph ever originally sold for $8.50.

I am certain that this is a fantasy, concocted many decades ago by someone who had a feeling for prose of the period.

So you think its a Repro/not real? Thats ok if so thats why I posted it. I am not sure and have not been able to find another one like it, so that threw flags up in my mind.
