MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLUMBIA "EAGLE" GRAPHOPHONE


Columbia dubbed this instrument the "Eagle Graphophone" in its advertising.  Collectors came to assume that the name was suggested by the obverse of a $10 coin (which  could have been used to purchase the machine) which featured a rampant Eagle.  Perhaps.  Or perhaps the associations with strength and indomitability appealed to the copy writers at Columbia.   Certainly, the name had punch -- the one French version of this machine was called an "aiglon" or eaglet.



This instrument was sold in the nineteeth century, but it looks as fresh and bright as if it was made yesterday!. We have cleaned and adjusted it in way that only phonophan can, with 54 years of solid experience.



Beautiful, smooth, light-colored original wood finish, and clean, bright, shiny nickel-plating.  Stunning, and it plays delightfully.  



This Graphophone reproducer was designed and used in the 1890s, and we have meticulously restored it, including an historically precise "French Glass" diaphragm.



Imagine being charmingly entertained by an instrument from the 1890s!  The fun can be yours!

Price: $575.00 US, including 10" nickel-plated replica horn and TWO 2-minute cylinder records, plus s/h. (NY State residents must add sales tax, if applicable.)
