The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hope I don't double post. Hi, I'm new to the site, but have been a phono fan for a while. Wanted to get some expert opinions when I see phonographs I've never seen. Some friends of mine mentioned this site so I joined. The Pathé below I've never seen before, I've never seen a phonograph like that period. Just wanted some info if its rare or common. Anything id appreciated. Thanks.

Not common. Most American-made Pathé machines I've seen have been ordinary looking table models and uprights so an art case console like this is out of the ordinary and relatively scarce. Unfortunately scarcity does not always mean value over the low hundreds Quite a beautiful piece for someone with the right room to show it off.
