We believe it dates from 1905 to 1911. (Prior to 1905 the decal was small and on top of the case.) (The history and additional information about this gramophone can be found on pages 105 to 107 of the "Edison Cylinder Phonograph Companion" book by George L. Frow.)<span></span></font> Exquisite beautifully handpainted horn. Oak base with dovetailed rounded corners and fancy "Edison Home Phonograph" decal in Excellent condition (vertical streak in photo is a reflection from camera). <br><br>Floral detail and gold striping on horn is in very good to excellent condition, with some paint loss generally restricted to the background painting around the opening and on the outside of horn. Gold designs are bright and clear with only the center part of outer line behind the crane showing wear from use.  Overall, the florals are vibrant and fresh as the day they left the factory -- extraordinary condition for an all original antique. We did not see any dents or damage to the horn itself. (We like the character of the aged look but if you wish, with a little retouching this would look like new!) The serial number is 152832.<br><br>This is all original as far as we can tell but we think the tube at the base of the horn that connects it to the machine may have been replaced at some point. Finish, paint, decal and all other parts, including case, base, decals, motor, winding shaft, weights, springs, and lid, as far as we can determine, are all original, clean, and in close to mint condition. Includes <font face="Arial" size="2">front-mount horn crane, with original foot and chain. As you can see in the photo, the black plate is exquisitely detailed in gold and shows minimal wear. </font><br></li><br>This is a beautiful Victorian style horn that looks like it came straight out of "Dark Shadows" or a Victorian Gothic tale. Plays 2-minute black wax cylinder type recordings, not records. It is super clean. We do not have any cylinders, but a friend who owns a similar machine tried one of his cylinders on it and it did work. We will include a copy of the original instruction booklet that came with the gramophone. (We do not have an original - only the copy, but we will give it to the lucky new owner of this fabulous piece of history and art!)<br><br> <li>Dimensions: Base measures 16.5" wide, 9.5" deep, and 12" high. Horn is about 20" wide and 24" long. <br></li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">ADDED INFORMATION: </span>THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE TO US ABOUT IDENTIFYING THIS MACHINE. We do appreciate your time and efforts and willingness to share your expertise. Unfortunately, the messages have contained contradictory or differing information -- THE ONLY THING ALL OF THEM AGREE ON IS THAT THIS IS A <span style="font-weight: bold;">2-MINUTE PHONOGRAPH.</span> Of the 6 messages we've received at time of this addition to our listing, two agree that it is a model B. We were able to confirm that it has a "C" reproducer. If we can verify additional information we will add it to the listing. PLEASE EXAMINE PHOTOS AND INFORMATION PROVIDED. We will do our best to answer any questions you may have. THANK YOU. <br><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: </span>The phonograph pictured on front of instruction booklet has a different decal on front but we used the booklet to assemble and play this machine, so we assume the instructions are the same although picture is not identical to this one. <br> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">SHIPPING NOTE: WE WILL PAY FOR SHIPPING THIS ITEM TO THE CONTINENTAL United States. THIS WILL SHIP IN TWO SEPARATE BOXES. </span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Item may also be picked up </span>in Central New York State, convenient to Syracuse, Ithaca, Cortland, Binghamton, and environs. (We will deduct cost of local shipping if picked up.) <span style="font-weight: bold;">One box is oversize and the other is heavy</span> (about 40+ lbs) due to double boxing and extra packing materials.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Insurance is required and is the responsibility of the buyer. </span>Sorry, we cannot ship this internationally.<br></li></ul></font></td></tr></tbody></table> <table align="center" background="" width="85%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><font color="#004949" face="Tahoma" size="-1"><font style="font-weight: bold;" size="2"><br></font><font style="font-weight: bold;" size="2"><span style="color: rgb(0, 73, 73); font-style: italic;">Old House Interiors is your on-line source for exclusive high-end to-the-trade only wallcoverings, borders, and decorator accessories at way-below-wholesale prices.
