Edison Advertising Sign and Frame

Post by PhonoPhotoGuy »

I just purchased this framed Edison Phonographs and Records sign which I am guessing hung in an Edison phonograph dealer’s store in Cleveland, Ohio.

The oak frame especially intrigued me as it has the Thomas A. Edison trademark signature incised into it a good ¼ inch plus deep.

I was wondering if anyone has seen such a frame and if it was something that came from the Edison factory with the advertising ready to be hung up.

Never seen that Frame before, but I have seen the Poster before...and the Poster IS being Reproduced today and is readily available from certain sources from $20 to $40 usually...depending on the vendor..

Yours certainly looks like an original with its original frame which is even rarer...and looks like a nice find...

The Phonograph in the Photo is an Edison Home Model A "Long Case" model.

Kudos to your find.
