SOLD: 1897 Columbia Eagle B Graphophone Phonograph Early Serial # 65

Post by phonohound »

Columbia Eagle B Graphophone Phonograph Early Serial # 65 made in 1897.  Talking machines made in the nineteenth century are getting harder to find and are prized by collectors.

Here is a 100% original Columbia Eagle Model B Graphophone.  It is in untouched, original condition and works and plays beautifully. 

What makes this machine amazing is the early serial number. These Model B phonographs began at number 80000 and this one is number 65, which is one of the first ones made out of more than 400,000 manufactured.

The horn is excellent with original paint.

The lid has a sliver of missing veneer and the underside of the baseboard has some missing as well. 

Price is $1300.

I can deliver this phonograph for free to the June APS Midwest Phonograph Show in Schaumburg, IL or can be picked at my home in Wisconsin or I can ship it free in the continental US only.

Hello, I’m very interested, how long have you had the Columbia? I live in Washington state would free shipping still apply to me over there?.
