FOR SALE: SOME GREAT RARE ITEMS

[phonohound]

For sale are fairly scarce items from my collection that are really nice examples and am offering here with free delivery to the Midwest Phonograph Show on the weekend of June 19 or free pickup in Wisconsin. Shipping may be available on some items. Prefer not to ship the horn or Amberola.

1 20" Recording and Reproducing Horn No. 3 - Heavy brass, flared circa 1891. This is one of the earliest brass horns that would be perfect for your Edison Class M, Bell-Tainter, Columbia N or any other early to mid-1890s phonograph. The condition is just awesome - clean and nearly dent free. Anything that may look like a dent is just light reflection. The nipple which connects to the reproducer has been cut down some. A rubber connector hides this perfectly. Free delivery to the APS show. Price is $1400

2 Hawthorne & Sheble tabletop crane and 14" brass horn for Columbia phonographs. This crane is extremely rare and is all original and in nice condition. It comes with a correct 14" brass horn with hanger. The horn missing the nipple to connect to the reproducer, but the included rubber connector works fine. Free delivery to APS show. Price is $875 for horn and crane. SOLD

3 Edison Amberola 50 in mahogany, Serial #4822 This phonograph is in beautiful, all-original condition. The grille cloth is also original, with some minor tears, but so many examples have no cloth or a reproduction cloth. The Edison decal inside the lid is perfect. The phonograph plays loud and clear and looks great in person. Free delivery to APS show. Price is $550.

4 Sears & Roebuck 1911 Catalog - This catalog is original and in good condition. These catalogs were meant to be throw away so the fact that this one is in the condition it is, is amazing. Some great Columbia/Oxford information in this catalog with so many other technological items from the past. There is one torn page in the back, which does not affect anything phonograph related. Very scarce and hard to find. Price is $100 SOLD.

5 Frank Lambert Water Meter - The water meter was invented by Frank Lambert, the same Frank Lambert who invented a cylindrical phonograph in 1879 for a talking clock, as well as the Lambert Typewriter. Lambert Water Meters are extremely rare. This meter is circa 1900 and is complete with brass fittings. Free delivery to APS show. Price is $550

6 Framed Victor Talking Machine Company Ad Here is a nicely framed and desirable Victor Talking Machine Company Ad that is ready to hang on your wall. Great color and graphics. Free delivery to APS show. Price is $35

Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.
