Sonora Upright Phonograph; Manufacture date and model name

Post by apruizii »

I'm thinking about picking up this type of Sonora upright phonograph. It has a paper record filing system at the bottom. It has beautiful wood craftmanship.

Does anyone know the manufacture date and model name?

Thanks!

Have you read the digital book on Sonora by R. J. Wakeman? You can read it on the APS website under Books.

I read the book on Sonora on the APS website and found out that this model came out in 1916 and is called the Imperial, cost $100. It was below the Baby Grand, $150, and the Grand $200.
