The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have no pictures but thought I'd pass this on. Last weekend in an antique shop in Brimfield Mass (a year round multi-dealer one) I saw a hand painted framed sign. It read "This Brunswick Panatrope supplied by (dealer's name)" It was fairly large and must have been displayed with a machine in a public place. I recall it was pricy, maybe a couple hundred dollars, but someone with a Panatrope might like it.

Was this a porcelain or Tin Type Sign, the materials would certainly be a factor in the cost. I am assuming at that price that it is most likely Porcelain.

No- this is a paper or cardboard sign, painted in white on black, it's in a silver leafed wood frame. I'm assuming the dealer had it made to promote the Panatrope: I'm assuming the electrical Panatrope. I think the sign is overpriced but still interesting.
