Re: Talk-O-Phone
Leeds & Catlin pressed records for Talk-O-Phone, but I don't believe they had anything to do with the manufacture of the machines, did they?

No: they were built by the Ohio Talking Machine Company in Toledo.JohnM wrote:Leeds & Catlin pressed records for Talk-O-Phone, but I don't believe they had anything to do with the manufacture of the machines, did they?

That's a Talkophone "Brooke." Below are pages from the 1910 John M. Smyth catalog showing a short-lived Columbia using the surplus "Brooke" cabinets obtained in the legal settlement with Talkophone.

Here's a photo of the little Columbia BWT that utilized the old Talk-O-Phone cabinet. I'd like to credit George and Tim's books for helping me recognize a unusual machine. Jerry Blais

Re: Talk-O-Phone (Columbia Reproducer?)
The reproducer on this machine appears to be a Columbia Longthroat that someone stuck a Talkophone paper reproduction decal inside of.
Did Talkophone ever use Columbia reproducers???

Re: Talk-O-Phone
The 'long throat' example was called an 'Analyzing' reproducer by Columbia.
