It seemed very busy, Rich !


I really wanted that large framed portrait of John McCormack, but I was afraid to inquire on the price...

Thanks for the photos. Did the bad weather have a negative impact on the show? Jerry Blais

On Saturday the day started out in the parking at about 28 degrees. It warmed up into the upper 30's. Fortunately the rain held off until after noon and most of us had left by then. I must say that I went home with an empty van on Saturday. Sunday started out around 32 degrees but warmed up to be a beautiful day in the 50's. Great day and great show.

Thanks for the report. I always enjoy the parking lot exchanges. What was the big mahogany piece with the Edison cylinder machine mounted on the inside? Do you recall the price? Thanks, Jerry

I didn't get an explanation of what it was, but the asking price was eventually posted as $850.

Here's a couple room shots I took. It seemed to be a good day from what I saw.

Not sure who made the cabinet, it had the Edison "signature" decal on the inside back rail of the lid.

Lots of inlay / marquetry.

Machine was Edison Home A (two-piece upper works), 2-minute only.


Was kind of a nice package, machine and storage all in one...

The lady who was describing it to another onlooker seemed to have a French accent ?

The machine was at Jean-Paul Agnard's table.

Thank you, Rich, for the pictures, and it was great meeting you, and so many others again for the second time. I'm very happy I bought the BKT from you! Can't wait to get her cleaned up a bit, and spin some cylinders over the next day or two...

Best,
Fran
