What is it?

Post by catfishjohn »

This is up for auction at estate 360. Says it's an electric Edison. I thought maybe a recased European phonograph. Any ideas?

Likely home-made by a skilled machinist. No brake or speed control.

I was the high bidder and will be picking it up in May, so will have a better look at it then and will post again about it.
