Zonophone Model Identification

Post by Raphael »

I recently acquired a collection of over 75 antique phonographs, with absolutely no information on any of the pieces. This Zonophone has me confused, it appears to be a "Parlor" model, but the decal says "Home". Can anybody educate me on this? Thanks!

The cases were very similar, the Parlour's top deck overhung the cabinet rather than being flush with the sides. Yours is a Home. As you will see the Home, Parlour & Concert of 1901 had "similar" case designs.

Have a look here for a side by side http://www.zonober.com/zono/machines.htm
