Since we are showing machines on this thread and keeping with Canadian content....here is Berliner #851 (1900). This is before a letter designation was formed with the introduction of other models. Berliner's Canadian operation started with this model on January 1900 in Montreal.

To date, I'm not aware of a lower Canadian serial number for this model. I would appreciate hearing of one.

To add..... the highest serial number (I know of) #16,200 of the now designated 'Type A' (1903).

So, from earliest to latest... :).

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian collectors. It was a real treat to see these variations of Canadian machines. They are so interesting to look at.

Pete,

I was going to send you a pm, but instead will state it publically:
Your phonograph space looks great!
You should be very proud of your efforts in assembling a wonderful group of machines, records, and dusters.

Gene
