This is a Edison Standard Phonograph playing cylinder records. The cylinders are made of wax. It has a Model C Reproducer. The piece has the lid and crank and 35 cylinder records. This was the stereo back in that period. I've had this over 20 years and it sounds and plays beautifully. The first patent on it is Dec. 4, 1889 and the last on it is Oct. 18, 1892. The serial number on it is s151144. Made in Orange. N.J.,USA.

Thank you so much Dottie for the nice complement! When friends come over, I play it for them and they can't believe how good it works and sounds. Have a great afternoon! :-)

I got a few with the photogragh, but I have found them here and there. I to have a couple of blue also. Most of mine have there cardboard containers that they go in with the lids.
Thank you Chevelleman69!
Very nice piece. I just picked up today 3 cylinders in the boxes. 2 blue and 1 black. It's nice to see what they would have played on.
Thank you hjensen for the comment!
Thank you MooreAntique!
Have an Edison and a box of cylinders that belonged to my grandparents. Very nice.
Thank you Nova, after all these years it still plays! :-)
I found one very similar to this one yesterday, it belonged to an old relative who passed away years ago. My father had tucked it away for safe keeping, we also found a box with a full set of 24 cylinders last Sunday. I cranked up the player yesterday and it still runs, but I haven't put a cylinder on yet as I have yet to find the horn. It is a beautiful machine, not sure that I'm going to want to part with it.
You can still hear it without the horn.
Good to know officialfuel, but I'm going to keep looking for that horn. Dad didn't throw anything out, so I'm sure it's here somewhere, thanks.
I just meant till you found the horn, just to see if it worked properly and if you had some sound. Have a great day! :-)
You are so diversified in your collection. Just incredible all the different things you collect. Enjoy looking at everything!
Thank you leighannrn for such a nice comment! I try to buy and show nice things! Have a wonderful evening! :-)

Great machine! My brother had a nice little Edison cylinder player, and a slew of wax cylinder recordings...."Old Bill Bailey," "By The Light Of The Silvery Moon," etc. Bravo! Thanks for sharing, someday I'd like to own one.....
