Well Bob, seeing as you once sold me a nice phonograph, I'll post it for you. But no peeking for the rest of you guys!

Now really - - how can any antique phonograph collector NOT have all 8 of our books? Why punish yourselves? Just PM me...I can help you! ;) :lol:

I was contacted by the guy who bought it originally, and wanted to know if he sold it too low. I told him he did....

My friend was the second new owner at Brimfield and he was subsequently offered more, and that is what makes the world go around...It seems to me like 3 people had a good day!

Although the photo appears in The Talking Machine Compendium, there are three images on that page, and if I scan the page, it would be a bit small. So here's a shot of the actual photo I took just for you! :D

Thank you George. I know the photo very well...thanks to one of your many great books I own. I just thought it would fit well on this thread. Just such a great period photo...IMHO.
