For your consideration is an original & working Edison Amberola 30 cylinder phonograph from the early 1920s. The Edison Amberola 30 was a popular, low-cost, table-top cylinder phonograph produced by Thomas A. Edison, Inc. from 1915 to 1929, selling for $30 at the time. As one of Edison's more affordable models, it was designed to be a more accessible and practical phonograph compared to earlier, more expensive machines. It was specifically designed to play four-minute Blue Amberol records, which were made of durable, blue-tinted celluloid. The phonograph has an oak hardwood case and has a wonderfully decorative hinged lid that lifts to show the reproducer and mandrel. The placard on the platform is marked "Thomas A. Edison Amberola 30" with a serial number of "SM-155290". A record is in place and is marked reading, "Mon Homme - Fox Trot / Orlando's Orch. / Thomas Edison Patd". It shows an overall good condition and is in working order. No signs of damage are noted, but slight wear is present from its age and use over the years. It measures 15 3/4" L x 12 1/2" W x 12 7/8" H and weighs 24 pounds and 4 ounces.*
