Sold: Charming Phonograph Antique Penny Toy

Post by phonohound »

Here is a late 1890s to circa 1900 penny toy in good condition. The blue paint on the body is nice and the brass horn has some loss of color. When you turn the crank it makes a plucking sound and works as it should

A great early piece of phonograph ephemera for you collection that you don't see every day.

Price is $95 + shipping.

Thanks for looking

Scott

Hi John

Its pretty small at 1.5" square for the base and about 2" tall. Can fit anywhere, unlike a real Victor phonograph. :D

Thanks for asking.
