A rotating Christmas tree stand phonograph. Pretty neat!

That is nifty. They show up in music box form from time to time, but I don't think I've ever seen a phonograph version.

Definitely a cool novelty item -- but can you imagine having to crawl under the boughs of the tree to play a record? Without knocking the whole shebang over? Yikes!

This sat on a table and used a small feather tree. The feather tree sat in the cup. A really neat item, indeed.
