The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

The Standard you have looks to be a model D or later, from about 1908 - 1910: the crank appears to be incorrect.

did you get my pm?

Back in Netherlands for a few days, here are a few more. Any help in identifying them or comments are greatly appreciated
Edison Standard type A?
Pathé, type C0q ?

HMV Monarch Junior 1907?

The top photo captioned "Standard Model A?" is actually a Model B. While originally a two minute machine, this one seems to have been upgraded to play the celluloid 4 minute Blue Amberols with a Cygnet horn and Diamond B reproducer. If you get an adapter and the model C & H reproducers, you can also play 2 or 4 minute wax.

HTH.

I am not certain whether you may have them in your country, but an antique phonograph show where dealers come to sell their wares is a terrific place to learn what the asking prices are for various machines. Better yet, these shows are a good place to meet collectors who attend the shows, many of whom are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
