Hello All
Thought the members might be interested to see a rare WHITE Gem.
What a shame. Who would think of painting such a machine in white, with a RED winder.
Never seen a phonograph treated in this way. For auction in the UK.

I'm going to be selling a Gem in the near future. I could take color requests.

No doubt it was meant to play those British "White" cylinders!

Looks rather like an early kitchen appliance.

What a deal. It even comes with its own needles.

And not to mention you get about ¼ of a reproducer!
Well at least they didn't paint the data plate, thank goodness. Who knows. It that state it might go so cheap it would be worth restoring.

I bet you could use a shaver to peel apples or potatoes!

I had this feeling Brandon was going to come out of the wood work when you wrote "kitchen appliance"....

I just placed an order for a blue one...
