FOR SALE: Original 1907 Edison Phonograph Monthly set - $135

[TinfoilPhono]

Most everyone is familiar with Edison Phonograph Monthly through the great reprints made years ago by Wendell Moore. But I think few collectors have handled original copies. The originals are larger than the reprint -- 6-¾" x 10" -- and the pictures are much clearer. Issues from August to December have covers with color printing to make them stand out -- also not shown in the reprints.

This is a set of 10 issues for 1907, missing only the May and July editions. Otherwise they are complete and in excellent condition. All are folded vertically; this was done when they were new, in order to fit into an envelope for mailing. They make for great reading, and are filled with wonderful information, such as the introduction of special morning glory horns, or the first announcement for the Idelia.

Interesting trivia about the August issue is that the horn on the Gem is wrong - it shows only 7 petals when the real horn has 8 petals. I had read about that mistake before somewhere.
