2-ID questions

Post by DanP58 »

Good afternoon
I have two questions regarding the identification of these for Phonographs. I’ve looked on the Internet through the books I have I can’t find much on them.

1)- AUTOPHONE American Phonograph company, New York City, New York
This phonograph can play Edison, Pathé , Victor or any type of 78 record , by adjusting the reproducer and installing correct needle, the Edison styli is permanently attached to reproducer , there is a second needle holder on reproducer. See pictures

2)- Mellowtone phonograph, Melophone Talking machine company, NY

Same with this one found little info on it , I found an old ad for a French made Mellowtone that looks just like it , but the I’d tag says NY. It has a Pathé concert reproducer on it now . On the rag it number / model TC. The chrome parts were found inside the phonograph any help with them is appreciated See pictures

Thanks in advance for any help. The picture uploaded backwards the first 8 photos are for the Mellowtone (#2) the rest are the Autophone (#1)
