The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My new toy K&R gramophone just arrive today. I think I was more excited to see it than it's first owner. That child that got it for Christmas some 125 years ago. It looks great with my other K&R Toy. I think they make great bookends.

WOW!!!!

How many of these exist?

Incredible!!! Thanks for sharing. Jerry

Mike, thanks for sharing... I need to stop by and get a closer look at that...

WOW! Congratulations, that's an epic pair of bookends!

Very nice. looks like a his and hers set... . Great find.!!. .

WOW!!!!! Amazing. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Can you post a picture of the ID plate? Is there another one on the shelf behind the Berliner?

Right side up...

I heard of this through a friend....who unfortunately did not tell me about the auction in advance . The price was very reasonable for an almost mint condition K & R. I think this machine is the most amazing thing to have been sold this year, if not this decade! The previous owner had a custom made box for it? Could you please share with us perhaps what the 5" Berliners that were with it are? I am told one was "Lords Prayer" very hot!!

CONGRATULATIONS on a great addition to your collection.

The other item from the pics I have seen from the friend that I found quite desirable in the sale was an english HMV for around 1000 euro with seamless horn with a transport box for the horn. Must have been a real quality auction.

What is the sound quality like on these machines?
