Who made this record cabinet?

Post by sq4wonder »

I recently acquired this pristine golden oak cylinder cabinet. It has 6 draweres and each drawer holds 49 cylinders. A few of the cones are missing, but otherwise it is simply wonderful!

Has anyone ever seen one like this? I am wondering who would have sold it. The Tigered Golden Oak Amberola 50 on top has almost the exact finish.

Thoughts?

That's a Herzog No.720. They're nice cabinets and they hold a lot of cylinders. Judging by the number that survive today, they must have sold reasonably well. The cabinet dates from ca. 1907-1910 and originally sold for $18.00 - a rather expensive cabinet of the time.

I think I have the same cabinet. Paid about $400.00 a few years ago.
