For those who might be interested, I just listed a Lewis Phono-Metro-Phone on my TechnoGallerie website. The machine, pictured and described on pages 148-149 of Hazelcorn's Columbia Phonograph Companion, is seldom encountered, particularly with a Lewis record canister, which is included with it.

Here's the link: https://www.technogallerie.com/product- ... -machines/

Other neat stuff to see there, too, including an uncommon HomoPhone recording attachment for disc records.

FWIW, here’s the only mentions of the Homophone in “The Talking Machine World”, both from August 15, 1922:
