The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Thought you guys might dig this photo of a burned out building in downtown Bangor Pa. Taken April 5th 2020

Made for a lefty---that is a phonograph my wife would like.

Phonographs seem to show up on all kinds of things these days. Here are a couple of interesting items. The second one is a shower curtain.

The pillow has a Pathéphone (with wrong-sided crank). Interesting how Pathé images have a way of showing up where they don't really belong, or at least where one would not expect them. For instance take the ones in the photo below. Beniamino Gigli, as far as I know, never recorded a note for any vertical cut label, much less for Pathé, yet somehow the company putting on a play called "The Gigli Concert" chose an image of a Pathéphone for its promotional materials. Similarly, the Moses guide is strictly about lateral cut records, but the cover image Dover chose for its reprint shows Lucien Muratore and Lina Cavalieri recording to cylinder in what must have been a session for Pathé.

Thanks for sharing that! Pretty cool, reversed crank or no.
