I bought these years ago from Sights & Sounds an antique shop located in Milan, Ohio the birthplace of Thomas Edison.
Wonderful shots. I, of course, like the B&W shots best.
These machines are works of art in wood.
Nice pics. They would look great in sepia, too.

My parents had one, with a locker full of Edison disks. But no megaphone on the player.
Recent estate sale - - no clue what happened to all of them.
History lost forever.
The Edison disks sound like an old horror movie to me!

Good shots of lovely equipment.
You have to marvel at the workmanship to produce the 'megaphone'.
