Found this photo a few days ago & thought I'd share. Shows an Edison Perfected phonograph.

Re: Edison Perfected
Very nice image. The horns are good examples of "made-to-order" goods that a local tinsmith might have provided (although the smaller horn looks like it may have begun life as a bugle or cornet). That crane looks like it could do double-duty in a modern auto shop!
What I find most interesting is the use of a "spectacle" model Class M for exhibitions. Sidewinder, you say that you "Found this photo a few days ago..." Do you have the original? If so, are there any markings? Is there more to see on the sign?

Re: Edison Perfected
Ditto, Starkton - - I've never seen an image of an Edison Class T with a spectacle device. Very nice!

Re: Edison Perfected
The small white chips resulting from shaving and recording on the Class T photo nicely illustrate E. T. Gilliland's remark of late August 1888 in a letter to Edison: "Wax bothers us a great deal, gets all over the machine and the floor."
This was before the introduction of containers to collect the chippings at source.
