Summer is upon us and we are all looking forward to having a nice vacation and recharging our batteries, so to speak. So, for the next few weeks, we are going to be listing lots of stuff, in an effort to "clear the decks" and reduce our inventory. Then, it's off to see the world and enjoy life before the fall selling season begins. You will thus have a great opportunity to acquire some fine items at bargain prices.
BERLINER "G" GRAM-O-PHONE
Un...til recently, this was in the personal collection of Oliver Berliner, a grandson of Emile Berliner. We know nothing more of how he acquired it, or length of ownership.
A fine, rare example of one of Emile Berliner's last c.1905 phonographs, bearing Serial # B-2587. Normally, one would assume from the nameplate designation that it is a model B, but it is definitely a Model G. How this came about is a matter of speculation, but everything seems original and unmodified.
Case measures 11.5" x 11.5"Original Automatic reproducer and elbow, with patent stamps - recently serviced, rebuilt & polished
Original bullet brakeOriginal 7" turntableOriginal crankOriginal brass bell horn measures 15" x 9.5" with original Berliner decal
This runs strongly and smoothly, with very little motor noise. It will play a 7" Berliner record all the way through. It won't compete with your Bang & Olufsen stereo, but then again which do you think has more historical significance (and ultimate value)?
