The last Excelda is the one to bid on as it will go for the least BUT will any make 200 Euros ? there's six on Ebay for loadsamoney although 3 are Indian Repros
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/1442/i.html? ... Phonograph
And two have sold recently for £130 which is the going rate

perhaps it will be like the HMV sale where a black Excelda made £700

This is indeed the Daniel Marty collection, or rather just the first part of it. There will be much more to come.

What auctioneer would put 15 machines all the same one after the other ?
An auctioneer who was stupid !

Re: Big Phonograph Auction in Paris - 10/14
I think that the reason is that these machines were not well appraised. The auctioneer probably imagined or was told that there are hundreds of Excelda collectors that will be fighting for these lots, when in reality the previous owner is likely the only one around that was interested in piling up Exceldas. There are millions of experts in Napoleon III furniture, but very very few people who would be capable to even distinguish an Edison from a Pathé phonograph. After all we are into a very small (and dwindling) hobby.soundgen wrote:

I've seen al the catalogue, 225 machines, many repeated, Exceldas, puck lyres... But it seems that the price appraisals are mad! Some rare machines are incredibly cheap...

Marty died five years ago, it took a long time for his heirs to get rid of his collection!TinfoilPhono wrote:This is indeed the Daniel Marty collection, or rather just the first part of it. There will be much more to come.
