The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

For sale, a great item to add to your collection today!!

Here we have a matched set very, very seldom found.

This is an original Columbia table crane, with accompanying 14 in all brass crooked end Columbia horn.

So, you've probably seen an occasional table crane in a collection or picture. However, this version, the one shown in the Columbia catalog picture below is hardly ever seen. It is a truly wonderful and elegant piece.
Offered by Columbia in 1901, the table crane matches perfect with their smaller machines. It was made to accommodate either a 14 inch, or 18 inch horn. I greatly prefer the 14 inch one included with this table crane. It is nickel plated, and adjustable, just as its larger floor model siblings. It is guaranteed original!

The 14 inch horn is all brass with the early flat seam and crooked end. It was offered with the crane by Columbia in the catalog. It retains its original finish and patina with a few minor spots of corrosion.

Take a look at the pictures. An outstanding set and opportunity to add to your collection.

The price is $850.00. This item will be well boxed, shipped and insured at the new owners expense. Or, it can be picked up in Michigan, or I can deliver it to the planned Stanton Auction in August with prior commitment.
