SOLD: Edison Christmas Advertising flyer 4 pages $28
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2020 11:59 am
Here is a 4-page Christmas advertising flyer (two pages printed front and back.) Eugene Cline company in Chicago.
It was definitely well-used... a bit tattered and fragile, but it's all there, except for a few small holes. Pages are separate and have been folded at some point. No staple holes are evident, so I believe the pages were never attached to one another. Some small round holes may indicate that they were hung on a nail in Mr. Cline's shop.
I don't see a date, but the descriptions for the Home and Triumph mention the "new style cabinet". My best guess would be Christmas of 1906.
Pages measure 7" x 11" Printed in green and red-- of course! Print is sharp and clear-- pictures were taken through clear plastic covers so are a bit blurry..
Interesting marketing strategy--> On the GEM, the copy says "Cheapest" and "results not quite so loud as on other Edison phonographs". Then- on the Standard it says "The Edison Standard Phonograph is far better than the Edison Gem." I guess they weren't pushing the GEM that year!
$28 includes postage in continental USA
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Thanks-
Brad Abell
