Re: Berliner Gram-O-Phone Trays
Thanks for the kind words. As you stated, finding them in decent condition was certainly a challenge. Unfortunately now I need a new one....colmike1 wrote:These were given away to restaurants and saloons by the phonograph companies to promote their products in the early 20th century. Servers would bring the patrons their change in them, hoping that some would be left as a tip . Usually these are worn till there's absolutely nothing left of them, so finding ones in that good of condition is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing them.
