The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Count the things wrong with it. Perhaps the seller genuinely is unaware.

Graphophone Model "B" Eagle coin "S"lot?

Look closely at it. You'll get it.

Look how the serial number has been partially worn off. Quite odd.

I communicated with the seller when it was first listed, and he's one of those Ebay processor types, finding and listing anything/everything. I doubt there's any intent to deceive here, just lack of knowledge.

I think its meant that the B has something to do with a cow?

So, what should it be worth in that condition? It's all there and appears to be easily restorable. In my opinion, the serial number appears to be a poor stamping job in the first place.

You guys haven't noticed the most glaring errors. Here's a BF. Kindly compare the molding on the cases.

The seller seems to pretty much know what's wrong with it and does a fairly good job saying so. He seems honest. Yes, it's too much money.
