I'm not at all interested in the machine, but I am curious about those "small one-sided records." No luck contacting the seller yet...

The arm on this example looks to be replaced, but there is is - not unattractive but pretty plain.

Few collectors, it seems, have an arden desire for this style of Brunswick phonograph.

After I left two messages, the seller finally called me this afternoon. For those who suspected Little Wonders, you each win a gold star! Still, you have to check out every stack... :)

Thanks for the tip anyway, Cliff - it could have been a bell-ringer.

I was once going through a box full of red-label Columbias, MGMs, Mercurys, Deccas, and the like. About ⅔ of the way through what must have been 150 records, I pulled out a 1909 Peerless - the only one I've ever seen. The rest of the box was the same old stuff. One prize 40 years older than everything else in the box!
