This couple were evidently so proud of their gramophone that they put on their Sunday best to be photographed with it.
My guess is that the machine is a Columbia, but others will be able to positively identify it.

Re: Pride of ownership.
Very nice photo. It is a proud couple. Yes, it's some sort of Columbia. With the huge nickel horn it is top of the line. Perhaps it's a European version of the Col BD or BY.

Re: Pride of ownership.
What a great photo, thanks for sharing this! I zoomed in to 200% and it sure looks like a BD to me, you can make out the rounded corners, see the trim ring and the tonearm is definitely Columbia.
I'd love to have a high quality scan of this to frame and display with my BD, they're rather imposing machines.

No, no Indian gizmo. I think it's a BJ or BD, circa 1905, 1906 vintage. Would love to have one.mick_vt wrote:Looks like one of those Indian gizmos off ebay to me
