I'm already feeling at home, you are very receptive!
Thank you

Welcome to the forum. What an amazing collection. I especially like the large brass horn mounted to the cabinet.

Bruce

Thank you Bruce, I'm glad you liked it, there's a photo of the smaller machines and a Nipper I bought in Germany.

Andreas, did you find your Nipper in Munich? I saw one like it in a shop window there and wished I had bought it...

Not sure buddy, not bought in person, I have another older, according to a book of the 20's but this one has a more similar silhouette with true Nipper.
See this photo the other Nipper, bought here in Brazil.

Welcome to the forum. The Yankee Trader section is a good place to post any parts you are missing. Someone may have the part your looking for tucked away in a box or drawer.

You are off to a fantastic start Andreas. Welcome!

Clay

Thanks for the tip, rizbone, will gradually see and thanks for the compliment, FloridaClay, me the motivation to continue and preserve these wonders, in the photo of the machines that I have more time, one of Columbia 1909 100% original with wooden horn.

That's a wonderful collection, Andreas!
Within this link ( http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 11&t=13732 ) there are a couple of images of a horn support attached to a cabinet, similar your's.
Do you know if your's is authentic to the period?

Thank Roaring20s, this set is really impressive and what I like most of all the pieces I have, as the kickstand stuck in the office, it seems that is unique, despite having never seen an identical piece in some literature, I saw a similar , Victor Talking Machine, dated 1903, the finish seems to me consistent with the time and at some point was polished and the great horn.
What caught my attention in the photo link, is that the decor of the connection between the bracket and the pin that holds the half circle, like a flower in my copy is face down on the photo and the link is up , which seems to be more adradavel, what do you think about this detail?
