    Description

    This is a Columbia cylinder Graphaphone. There is no nameplate or place for one, but on the end of the carriage rod is stamped 'Type BE', so I assume it is a BE. In the bottom of the lid is a label that says 'Type LE', so I'm not sure what that means. The phonograph plays 2 minute records and works well and a record of the 'Blue Danube Waltz' is included. The case is ornate and in very good condition, but there is a small scuff mark on the front of the cover.
    I believe it is all in original condition(except for the horn), at least that is what I was told when I bought it over 30 years ago.
    You can hear it play by copying and pasting the following into the address bar on your computer:

    This would make a great addition to any phonograph collection or even as the only vintage phonograph, since it is an excellent piece of furniture as well.
    Although it is listed as 'local pickup', I will ship it anywhere with the cost being determined by the buyers location and the method used for transport.
