Why does an auction house do that?
And to answer your question, it's so companies like Invaluable and Worthpoint can charge us heaps of money via online subscriptions so we can simply look this stuff up for reference in the future.

Do you also know for how much the Berliner gramophone was sold ?

602
Thanks, Andy. Now, all I've got to do is figure out how to bring it home from North Yorks!Orchorsol wrote: Fri Aug 04, 2023 8:06 am Congratulations Steve, so good to know it's gone to a good home!
Thank you, Graham. Yes, I'm looking forward to bringing it home soon. Regarding that motor, it obviously isn't included with the gramophone so would you know if Ian happened to store it with other spares he owned?emgcr wrote: Fri Aug 04, 2023 8:05 am Well done Steve, you have one of the world’s great bargains. A lifetime of happiness ahead. So pleased for you and please don’t forget to chase that spare motor ! Happy days indeed……..
Lot. 602 - It is a very rare mahogany cased No. 5 (one mod away from being the "original" Trademark gramophone by virtue of the factory change to the cam brake / replacement bolt brake type). I was the underbidder on this but after the EMG win I dropped out at £5000. It needs a gentle clean and some polishing work but someone has a fabulous machine there and will be thrilled with it. My only reservation with "Berliners" is that for someone like me they end up becoming very expensive door stops or display case items. Unlike the EMG it wouldn't get much use!
Thank you Chunny. I'm looking forward it.chunnybh wrote: Fri Aug 04, 2023 7:20 amWell done Steve. That is one of the most beautiful EMG's I have seen and heard.I did!
