The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello fellow forumers.

I'm having trouble identifying the machine pictured below. I'm not very familiar with European machines and am guessing that this is
what this is. Unfortunately I can't provide better images as the machine is not mine but I may have the opportunity to buy it.

By the way, I know we don't like to discuss value, but could anyone offer a ballpark of what something like this is worth?

Thanks in advance

Can you get some pictures of the motor ?

I though it looked odd, then I noted the fact that the close up photo of the logo shows the cherubs inverted.

Here's the top image flipped horizontally, which I'd guess is correct, since I've never seen a rear-mount outside horn gramophone with the crank on the left side:

Could you also post a pic of the horn support. From what I see it looks like Miraphone / Paillard. The back bracket casting would have ivy/flowers on it?

Yes the back bracket has Ivy on it. Unfortunately I can't get a picture of the motor.

Okay, I cracked it open... "

The latest pictures confirm that the machine is a Paillard.

The motor bears the Paillard trademark, and Paillard machines of this period were marketed under the name "Maestrophone", which is the name shown on the soundbox.

Thanks for your help. The information has been stored for future reference
