The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Complete your Edison machine display by adding the key that came with your phonograph. Called the "Dolphin Key", due to the two dolphin heads that join at the top. Asking $75 and can be delivered to the Wayne, NJ show next month. Please respond with "SOLD" and e-mail me at [email protected] and we'll take it from there.

Thanks,

I bought a key just like the one you show but it didn't fit my Edison. I was later told dolphin keys were very common for furniture back then, and I probably bought a furniture key. So my question is have you actually tried this on an Edison DD machine, and if so, what model? Thanks.

Good question and I wish I knew the answer. I do not have any of the large amberolas, so I have not had the opportunity to try this one. I base my assertion that it will fit an Edison by the shape of the business end of the key, which is similar to other phonograph keys that I have. I welcome anyone reading this ad to help answer this question. By the way, I have two others and all of them have a nearly identical configuration.
