The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here is a 1906 Columbia BK Graphophone in excellent, original condition. The original cabinet finish and front decal are both nearly flawless. The original nickeled hardware is still bright and shiny. The bedplate is near perfect, along with pinstriping and Columbia gold screening. Anything that may look like a major imperfection is just glare, but there are very few minor scratches on the lid.

A Model BK is one of the more common Columbia cylinder models, but any Columbia is rarer than an Edison Standard or Home model. What is really great about this BK is the condition. The machine is all original and the finish is in antique oak. Even the belt is original. The horn is a reproduction and is included with the phonograph. The phonograph plays well and sounds great. I have provided many photos and a video of the machine playing "Take Me Out to Ballgame."

I can offer free delivery to the Sept 17-18 Wayne, NJ show, but would need to know by Friday, 8/19, so I can get the phonograph ready and brought to my friends who are kind enough to assist with this.

Wow Scott, that's a gorgeous BK. If I didn't already own a very nice BKT, I'd jump on it. Good luck with your sale, someone will have a very fine addition to their collection.

Cheers,
Fran

Thanks Fran. This one and yours would make some fancy bookends. It's a good opportunity for someone. You just don't see many ultra-clean, all-original Columbia machines often.
