Ratchet-Wind Berliner Gramophone Surrounded by Ladies
I haven't seen such a fantastic picture before. Moreover it is newly brought on the collectors' market. Certainly an interesting oddity for the long pocket. Watch it go here:

I have already placed my absurdly low bid.

Wow - that image is a sweetheart! It looks quite similar to the ones used by Frank Seaman in the National Gramophone Co. ads of 1896 with hand-driven models, but the lever-wind Berliner makes this one special. I'd love to know the story behind this one. Thanks for sharing this - -
