The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I was browsing the various threads on fibre / thorn needles, and was intrigued by the product offered by Peter Grey / the house of Peter Grey.

I believe I remember my voice teacher(record collector since the early 1930's) in college speaking of his stuff...


I couldn't seem to find anything on Mr. Grey via google; is there any info available on him and his phonograph supplies ?

Going by his thorn needle pointer, packaging, and calligraphy, I'd bet he was an interesting personality...

I couldn't find anything other than his old place of residence in Oakland which is now a church in a rather run down area, it appears:

I have some packs of his thorn needles and it contains five... yes five pages of instructions and copy teaching the virtues of thorn needles.
