Anyone who has the September 2006 copy of the APS magazine can date Edison Home Phonographs from 1896 through 1901. The graph is part of an article titled, "The Edison Home Phonograph, 1896-1901."

I believe I posted the entire article on this forum years ago.

Since we're on the subject, how about H 26827?
Thanks,
Jim

Edison Home #26827 also left the factory in February 1900.

The OP asked for a date of manufacture, but that data is not known to exist. The dates I provide are when the machine was sold by the National Phonograph Company. Usually this is close to the assembly date, but not always - especially in the case of slower-selling machines like the Spring Motor and Concert.
