The Home and Standard models featured more decorative base mouldings, while the Triumph retained its simple moulding. Pinstriping on the Home and Standard bedplates -- was it now two-colour decals? Again, it seems the Triumph kept the older fashion of gold painted pinstripes. So were the late Triumph models somewhat old-fashioned compared to their less costly fellow models?

Edison Standard models never had two-color bed plate (decal) striping. Edison Home models (later) D through F, Fireside models A (later) and B and Amberola VIII had two-color bed plate (decal) striping. Triumphs did not have the two-color bed plate striping but the Triumph bed plate (and top casting) striping was always hand drawn (AFAIK) and the corners quite ornate.
