The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Picked up this framed lot of Edison Ephemera. Can't wait to open it up and look at each piece. I especially like the one "Directions for Setting Up and Operating the Edison Spring Motor Phonograph" at the bottom in the middle.

Rich,

Nice haul!

That is what I need to start doing with all my ephemera! Keeps it safe and organized

Yeah, F. K. Babson (Chicago) and Peter Bacigalupi and Sons (San Francisco) put out a lot of their own Edison sales paperwork as main Edison distributors. Some of their stuff is really neat, but not really considered "Factory" Paperwork since its from a distributor.. It's more of an Edison "offshoot".. of the period. Still neat stuff. They did however stamp their name and address on some original Edison Instruction Manuals and Dealer Brochures though.

I do see some Original Edison Instruction manuals and Original Edison Dealer Tags in there. Nice score.
