Quick Delivery Of A Gramophone

Post by gramophone78 »

I was able to find in our city's archive a wonderful glass negative's (circa 1919) of a local delivery vehicle. I wonder if any of my Berliner Gramophone's were delivered in this to the new and anxious owner . If you look very carefully (first photo) at the very bottom back corner, you can see the Studebaker name painted. The photographer took another showing another van still retaining the Studebaker name.

From the ad, I am assuming they sold "British Columbias"... :lol:
