The Pathé Gaulois, an obvious ripoff of the Edison Gem that combined elements of the Graphophone, came in various colors. So why not white? :lol:

the galois did come in white as well
ps the second machine on the left (the blue) isn't a gauloise but a girard menestrel model 1

it doesn't have the Pathé cock logo

the bettini no3 is also an gem inspired machine it pops up on ebay france now and then and is mostly mistaken for a Pathé gauloise
