The “Duesenberg” of Antique Phonographs

• An unusual offering of a seldom seen and uniquely collectible, coin-operated, multi-play cylinder phonograph. Only a handful have survived.
• This century-old machine, which plays 24 selections on a rotating automatic changer, was one of the most brilliantly conceived mechanical engineering achievements of its time.

• Standing more than 7 feet tall, this Multiphone will distinguish itself in any setting and instantly become the focal point of even the most impressive collection of mechanical antiques. The ornate hand-carved case is a work of art in itself. Overall dimensions are 86" high x 42" wide x 22" deep.
• This Multiphone has undergone a flawless 100 point restoration and has been restored to its original factory condition in every detail.
• Invented by Cyrus Shigley, the Multiphone was manufactured by Julius Roever of the Multiphone Operating Company of New York between 1906 and 1909.
• Act now to take advantage of this rare opportunity.
