Early Phonograph Ad

[Rexophone]

Since I not only collect phonographs but other rusty things I was looking through an early 1880s magazine aimed at telegraph operators. Some kind souls have scanned these and posted them on an antique telephone information website.

Most of the ads in the back of the magazine had to do with telegraph and very early telephone equipment, but I was surprised by the ad below. The magazine is from 1882. I bet the machine has appreciated just a bit.
