Here are 2 pictures of the so-called Water Motor that I took in 2012 at the Edison site in Ft. Myers, FL. Surely the museum can't think that this is a real Water Motor! And I wonder about the Circa 1906 card. I wish I could read the phono's nameplate in my pics.

I remember seeing that in the glass case in about 1974. It was sad as all the reproducers had been stolen from the various Edison machines. Also many of the wooden upright cases were in rough shape with torn fabric. Still all in all to a young collector it was like heaven.
