Regarding the comments about spouses limiting your collection...
My question is: Who dusts them? If your spouse does, I think that gives their wishes even more weight! ;)

Another fantastic collection!.
Although I have heard the name before, what was the link between the Columbia N and "Thornward"?.

AWESOME! I love all the coin-ops and the small Pathés and of course the Auxetophone.

The Thornward was made by Columbia for Montgomery Ward between 1900-1901. It was a combination of Columbia N topworks and modified Columbia A motors. I believe the cabinet is the same for both the N and the Thornward.

I love this thread. Where else can you see this many collections without traveling all over the country and the world.
I hope that you enjoy the pictures of some of my collection.

How cow, Bill - that is one fabulous collection! How long have you been collecting? I really like the variety and the way you have displayed them all. Very nice job.

Bill, this is a beautiful collection. I love the horn on the Zonophone Grand Royal. Is that wood or wood grained metal?
Thanks for sharing
Andreas
