This is a Near Mint Original 1898 Berliner Trademark Gramophone & Oak Record Box.
Excellent Original Finish and Decal, Excellent Original Nickel Finish.
Excellent Original Turntable Felt and Record Hold Down.
Excellent Original Clark/Johnson Reproducer serial #J14372, (correct to this machine).
Excellent Original Tone Arm and Excellent Original Crank.
The Machine is serial #J9588, (correct for this 1898 machine).
The big bonus is the Excellent Original Aftermarket Nickel Horn.
The only reproduction part on this machine is a very old replacement leather elbow.
The machine plays as good as it looks, as can be seen in this video:

Next is this Near Mint Original Period Correct Berliner Oak Record Box.
Excellent Original Finish and Nickel, (the nicest original I have ever seen!).
The only reproduction part on this box is a replacement leather handle.
I am including 8 Berliner Records, (1 reproduction and 7 Canadian Berliners).
I am also including an Original Gramophone Needle Box and Needles.

You’d be hard pressed to find a nicer Berliner Combo!
If interested please inquire via PM or email.

Bob. I have nowhere near the funds to afford everything here, likely.

However, I was wondering if you would sell the records & or needle box separately?

I have the same box but I've been loathe to find any information on it. I found mine full of records in an antique store in the mid 90s and have often wondered how many other folks had come across one, now I know there's at least one other!

This Record Cabinet was advertised in the Hawthorne & Sheble Catalog and the Improved Gram-o-phone Catalog.

Wow! That's a beauty Bob! Somebody will be getting a top shelf machine!

Well, no takers, so it goes back up on the shelf.

Cheers, Bob S.

I remember my friend Arthur Pare had a similar storage box like that.edisonplayer.
