FOR SALE: Columbia style phonograph with greem flower horn

[Phonotom]

Hi,
Here is a Columbia style phonograph with an original green flower hon. The horn was at factory adapted horn from a cylinder machine. It has the hanger but no ring and looks to never have had one. This is the third Columbia rear mt. horn like this that I have had. The machine is in nice shape with original finish. 795.00 + actual shipping. Delivery to Union is possible.

The case appears to be from a Talk-O-Phone "Brooke" model: not surprising, since Columbia acquired much of their stock, after the Ohio Talking Machine Co. was sued out of existence in 1909.

Bill is absolutely correct. This is only the second time I've seen an example of this machine. Anyone collecting Columbia oddities should consider the machine. It's mentioned in one of George and Tim's terrific books but the example is shown in a period advertisement and not an actual machine from someone's collection.
