The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi, this is part of Brown Brothers brochure/catalogue featuring Columbia phonographs.The prices are; Q = 16 shillings and 1 penny, QQ = 23 shillings and 5 pence, AT = 48 shillings and 9 pence and BC £17,one shilling and 3 pence. The BC was certainly expensive ! You could have bought 21 Q's for the price of a BC !! That perhaps explains why we don't see many today ....
The disc machines were AK = 36 shilling and 1 penny, AJ = 48 shillings and 9 pence, AH = 73 shillings and 1 pence and AR = 175 shillings and 6 pence.
(for those not familiar with our quaint pre decimal currency there were 20 shillings to £1)

Any ideas of date based on models shown ?
