Edison Standard Serial Help

Post by TonyZucco »

Hello everyone!

I recently inherited my grandfather’s Edison Standard Phonograph. I’ve been doing a good bit of research but I still have tons to learn. I believe it’s a “Model A - New Style”.

The serial is 121133, which my best guess has it at December 1903, but I’d love some help to nail that down.

I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions soon enough.

Thanks in advance!

Tony,

Your guess was pretty close. According to Edison sales data, Standard #121133 left the factory in November 1903.

Was hoping you’d respond, thanks for the confirmation! Figured it had to be around that time based on other serials.
