Does anyone know the name of the dealer who had the Columbia Home Grand?

Rich Gordon

Hi All,
Great pictures and a show that I would like to get to...but it's a trip from Arizona!!!
There is a shot of Charlie Hummel sitting at table with a lot of pictures taped to the wall behind him. I have a phone number for him but no matter when I call it justs rings. I have acquired a nice document with a great Edison signature and have been looking for a good picture to frame with it. That picture of Edison might just do the trick-I am assuming that the signature that I see is a printed one.

If someone would PM me that knows him and his number than I could check it, the one I have is from his business card with the EDISON printed on it with a picture of a machine-it might not be a good number anymore.

Thx for the help
Abe

Rich,

Ken Danckaert had the Home Grand. He had two actually, but he sold one early Sunday morning.

Abe, PM sent.

Yes one sold and I still have the other. They were both at a reasonable price for fully restored machines. $3900.

Just a suggestion but when you load photos into your computer there should be a "rotate" choice so that you send them out the right side up. I love the photos but they are hard to see sideways. With mine after I load the photos from the camera you click on one of the photos and that enlarges that photo. at the top is a arrow that denotes rotating, I click on that and it moves them one quarter turn till you get it where you want it, usually then a arrow at the side is visible if move your mouse on the photo to move to the next picture, when your done you simply use the "back" symbol and they return the right way in the smaller size. I hope your computer works similar.
