Home in Madison on CL $?

Post by Schlick »

Edison Home and some upright(s) in Madison. What would be a good offer for the Home (if he'll sell it separate)?

Lot of "ifs"...

IF that Edison Home ("Banner" B, two-minute only) is in good playing order, it is probably worth between $250 & $350. Maybe more if the bedplate, striping, and nickel are in good to excellent condition. Wonder what the lid looks like ( they tend to splinter and peel along the edges ).

IF the horn is a genuine period horn, and the brass bell is not cracked, that is probably worth $100.

I would not pay too much for that machine, as it is two-minute only...


The upright phonograph intrigues me... the grille has decorative motifs that remind me of Arts & Crafts Design, Harvey Ellis or Charles Rennie MacKintosh. Wonder what make it is ?

Thank you Mr. Frank! I was hoping an orig horn might make it worth more... Probably not worth my drive this weekend! Too sunny right now. Thanks, again for the tips!

Peace, Michael
