Need help identifying a Union sound box

Post by Jerry B. »

I have a Union sound box. It was made by the Union Specialty & Plating Co. in Cleveland. It is designed to play vertical cut records. Is it an accessory for an off brand machine or an adaptor used to play vertical cut records on Columbia, Victor or ??? Thanks for any comments. I did try the search feature on our Forum with no luck.

Thanks, Jerry Blais

I found this in the 1913 edition of the Talking Machine World --

If you do a search of that edition for Union Specialty, you'll find several references to the company and other ads.

Hope this helps.
