"The phonograph is not of any commercial value."

Re: Did anyone get this???
I have a treadle sewing machine by Crown that was sold 1882. It's actually made by Florence, but Bent must have made the cabinet. It's a nice machine with white porcelain casters under it.
The Bent's were certainly into selling whatever they could to turn a profit. Never seen a phonograph by them before. It kind of looks like one of those low Edison's that nobody really wants to make room for.
