When was the Standard A made

Post by snallast »

I´m wondering (and I´ve searched the Forum) when the Standard A Edison phonograph was made - when it was started and when did they go over to the standard B - I´m supposing here they went in that order.

Mine has the serial number S 1 61731 and the banner logo.

Anyone who knows any dates here? grateful if you would share!

The Standard-A Banner case models were made from 1901 until between Oct-Dec of 1905. Maybe George can help you with dating your specific serial number.

Edison Standard No.161731 left the factory about September 1904. :)

Member Martinola has been working on researching these for some time. You may find this post, and the article it links to, useful.
