I don't know anything about cylinder phonographs. I just thought it looked great. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 469243596/

This would be a Columbia Type BE Graphophone. Gramophones play lateral discs and were produced by the Berliner Gramophone Company and its affiliates.

I would have said it was a BF with the 6" mandrel.

I'm thinking that too. The case looks too long for a BE.

It’s a BE. Still a nice phono, but not worth the asking price by any means.

Carefully compare the attached photos and you’ll see the difference.
