Hello All
Thought the members might be interested to see a rare WHITE Gem.
What a shame. Who would think of painting such a machine in white, with a RED winder.
Never seen a phonograph treated in this way. For auction in the UK.

I'm going to be selling a Gem in the near future. I could take color requests.

No doubt it was meant to play those British "White" cylinders!

Looks rather like an early kitchen appliance.

What a deal. It even comes with its own needles.

Well at least they didn't paint the data plate, thank goodness. Who knows. It that state it might go so cheap it would be worth restoring.
