William and Mary Edison/ Crank on left side?

Post by larryh »

Was just looking at items ending today, and although I couldn't get the web address to copy I do have the number 300435392810. I was surprised to see the crank on the William and Mary console on the opposite side from what is normal? Anyone ever seen this before? His price is crazy but that is another topic.

If you look again at the photo, you'll see a backwards "R" on the wall hanging in back of the phonograph. (Also, the hard to see Edison logo is backwards.) I suspect the seller inverted the photo accidentally.

Thanks I sort of wondered that but couldn't recall how a person would end up with a reversed photo, especially since most of them are now digital? However the photos are bad as well. Funny how it reverses so well.

Im guessing the seller sent the picture to paintshop in his computer to turn or crop the image. Flip & rotate are in the same file, so he probably hit the wrong button :)
