Description
This Edison Standard Type D Combination phonograph has not been restored or worked on, and is missing its horn and the handle on top of the case.
Serial # 646119
The accompanying cylinder recordings are in mixed condition, ranging from good to poor. All the cylinders appear well-cared for and are scratch free. Many are clean and dust free except for the top ring where title is printed. Some have spots of dust clinging to them that could be cleaned off and restored. Two are cracked.
