Hi gents,
Going to an estate sale this weekend and found this nice display of phonographs. Can you help me identify? I know the Edison home and gem, but don't know much about Columbia machines. Let's see how good your eyes are!

It's not my eyes that are the problem... the picture is too blurry.

With what looks like a lid latch on the front, corner columns and some heavy base molding, I guessing Columbia AO or AW.
But because the picture is blurry I can be wrong and it won't matter or be my fault.
Good luck at the sale.

I would guess Columbia AO to the left of the Gem.

Re: Help ID machines
Agreed: AO/AW on the upper shelf; at least one Q down below.
