The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I normally don't start these kinds of posts, but I am at a loss for words....

I too dont know what to say...

Ribbit! Ribbit! Cool. I want it. I'd love to have that machine. A squirrel and a frog dancing together to hot dance music. Ribbit ribbit

Brad,

Where on earth did you find THAT?

I think that is perhaps the most bizarre phonograph or related item that I have ever seen.

Seriously...wow.

That is a strange one, is that old? Sculpture? Where did it come from??

Branson Missouri?

Looks like something one would find in one of those nick-nack shops that dot the landscape out there in "Clean Vegas."

Looks like genuine art noveau, though gone a bit wild. I've seen other pieces of furniture in similar style at a museum.

Fredrik,

Thanks, now I’m going to have disturbing mental images of some nonexistent day when I might be assailed with commercials for ‘Phonographs Gone Wild’.

It still baffles me who would think that making a machine look like this was a good idea...but I suppose there are no shortage of people who really could use some taste.

LOL, wow. So, where did this come from? Any idea?
