The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Since we are showing machines on this thread and keeping with Canadian content....here is Berliner #851 (1900). This is before a letter designation was formed with the introduction of other models. Berliner's Canadian operation started with this model on January 1900 in Montreal.

To date, I'm not aware of a lower Canadian serial number for this model. I would appreciate hearing of one.

To add..... the highest serial number (I know of) #16,200 of the now designated 'Type A' (1903).

So, from earliest to latest... .

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian collectors. It was a real treat to see these variations of Canadian machines. They are so interesting to look at.

Happy Canada Day!

Heading outside now to start a fire, roast some marshmallows, and light some fireworks!
(not necessarily in that order)

Great pic Pete, love the collection.

Well done Mr. Grumpy!

Happy Canada Day to you and all our Canadian friends. What a wonderful room you have and a great way to enjoy it. Please don't build a wall after our next election.

Pete,

I was going to send you a pm, but instead will state it publically:
Your phonograph space looks great!
You should be very proud of your efforts in assembling a wonderful group of machines, records, and dusters.
