Phonograph Display at steam tractor show

[Wes K]

Hi All,
At the Oklahoma Steam and Gas Engine Show this year we had an antiques display in the headquarters building. This is the second year it has been done. I brought several of my phonographs to display. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Does anyone take any of their phonographs (or other antiques) to display at shows?

Cylinder machines


Disc machines


A mix of stuff



Here are two views of the main display to give an idea of how it looked

Looks like a great display.

Hi Wes, it is interesting that we both share this hobby, as well as vintage bridges. You know me by my name: Gene McCluney in Van Buren, Arkansas.

I always take a portable and a few jazz records when exhibiting a car at vintage rallies and shows. I shall be setting off within the hour to an event at our local pumping station, where the Victorian machinery has been preserved and will be in steam :

Thanks for the replies. Several of the antique car guys at the show like seeing the portables. The cylinder machines drew a bit of interest with the spectators. Unfortunately, I was unable to spend much time with the display to demonstrate, as I usually am in the Power House running our club's 100-ton Corliss engine.

Hi Gene. As you can see, I've been neglecting bridge hunting a bit to play catch-up on a few of my other interests!

Wes, I think you put on one heck of a great display. It must have taken some time to arrange everything.

I was hoping to see some steam tractors... .

One question....you mention "bridge" collecting. Is that what I think..??. If so, where do you display those..??... .

I wish I could collect bridges, but since I can't, I take photographs of them, and put them up on my website: http://okbridges.wkinsler.com/

And by request, here some steam tractors:

And here I thought you meant dental bridges.

Great idea to share our phonograph interests. It might spark some new collectors. Or, bring in some leads on a possible new acquisition.
