Oy.

That's quite a shame, I bet that phonograph would have been worth a lot of money since it was made 38 years before the phonograph was even invented.

[Cody K]

Yes. It was truly an early phonograph.

I don't know, some of these things are older than you might think...

I know, right? My cousin's best friend's girlfriend's brother's mother used to have one that came over on the Mayflower. It was her grandmother's. They used to smoke codfish in it.

No doubt the record of choice on this historic voyage was "Who Hid the Halibut on the Poop Deck?" by Yogi Yorgesson, played on a Puritan phonograph.
