Recent Garage sale Find

[ColoradoPhonograf]

I thought I would post some photos of a garage sale I went to recently. One evening I was looking at Craigslist and did a search of "Antiques" in the garage sale section. There was a listing with a garage full of everyday stuff. I looked at the photo and thought I spotted an Edison Standard. On a whim I drove the 10 miles the next morning to see, it turned out there was an Edison Home and an Edison Standard and. Columbia brand Standard Model A. The prices were fair so I bought all three and I asked if they had anything else phono related. He invited me into the house and we went to the family room to see a horn sitting on the coffee table. I saw the bayonet mount for a Victor machine from about 15 feet then I saw the black stripe around the perimeter. I thought it had to be too good to be true.......but I flipped it over to confirm that it really was spruce. Yeppers, and with original finish. Needless to say I opened my wallet and pretty much emptied it.
I'm a happy collector right about now, I'll put it on my Vic. VI. There is good stuff out there, you just have to find it. I was shocked to find this in the middle of nowhere.

That horn is an awesome find, not even talking about the other machines you got as well. Congrats!

Nice find and close to home too. I guess you just never know when or where you might find that item you've been looking for. That's what keeps us all looking!

Ditto and ditto! All it takes is some effort and patience (sometimes lots more of one than the other). Nice going!
