I love your videos, but it should be noted that Columbia used the naming convention ‘Type’, not ‘Model’.

Thanks John,

I appreciate your kind comment.

However, "Type" and "Model" were used interchangably at times by both Columbia and Edison, probably other makers. Phonograph companies weren't that specific throughout time in their advertising.

Shawn,
Thanks for the video. Do you have any copies of the AS advertisements or related literature?

Hey Curt,

The "Big Box" stores put me out of the paper business!! :lol: I'm on to other adventures. So no, I am sorry, I don't have any available.

Thank you!
