COLUMBIA DISC GRAPHOPHONE TYPE BII
Columbia put the other talking machine companies to shame when it came to style. They specialized in pretty decals and eye-catching horns and nickel-plating that shown like silver. Columbia relied on the spectacular visual impact of the Type "BII" to carry then through into the second decade of the 20th century. This model remained in production into the middle 'teens, and was improved as rge years rolled on. The particular equipment of this version locates it around 1914. The horn is especially noteworthy -- it is an original solid-brass nickel-plated Columbia flower horn of formidable proportions. And what an impact it makes on the eye -- in a near perfect state of preservation.
