Columbia baby regent.

Post by tomb »

I have wanted a baby regent for a while and I found one that had been nicely refinished and was in good shape. I made the bid then I did drive. It almost looked new. I had to take a piece of furniture out of the room to fit it in but it looks better than the end table I took out. It held a Home F and I think it looks better on top of this. So far no gripes about the change but every one has busy. Columbia was one of the first to incorporate record players into functional furniture. They had a desk and one that looked like a very small grand piano. Tom B

I like the Baby Regent. Congratulations. It looks like it was professionally refinished.

The perfect topper is a Regina Style 50 (serpentine) music box; they almost look like they were made for each other. And then you’d have an ersatz Reginaphone!
