Well I hope you enjoy the pictures there are quite a few of them so they may take a while to look at. I didn't keep track of any prices but if they had a price tag i tried to show them in the photo. A few of the higher priced machines changed hands a few times. Overall it was a great show and everyone is looking forward to 2013.

Had to list this in several posts due to attachment limits.

Really appreciate your posting these pictures. Looks like phonograph heaven! And a few nice music boxes too.

Very nice stuff. I hit several antique shops yesterday, other than a VV-100 and a Standard external horn machine, it was nothing like this.....and none of them had a well stocked bar in the room!

Hmmm The treadle machine was in the Cottone auction of April 13 which I bid on. Reached $6000 and supposed sold one bid away from mine. Price realized from sale did not indicate machine sold although the price estimate range was $5000 to $8000 within the range of estimate. Can anyone shed light on this subject. LH

I guess this was only a Graphophone shaver, combined of obsolete parts. Who would buy a shaver for $7k ??

You know, you guys, if you really have any kind of conscience, should seriously consider shipping a lot of this stuff over to us in the Motherland!

There wasn't a single machine that I could spot in any one of the pictures shown thus far remotely bad enough to be a serious candidate for our pathetic NVCF held in Warwick every May. The amount of stuff, nay, the amount of incredible high quality stuff you have over there is just plain and simple awe inspiring and staggering.

Are we desperately jealous? You betcha a**e we are!

Well, you will just have to come over the pond for next year's show.
