Featured in this lot is this original, Edison Home Phonograph Model C from the early 1900-10s. The Edison Home Phonograph Model C was a two-minute cylinder phonograph introduced by Edison in 1908, specifically designed for home use. It was initially marketed in New York State and was known for its smaller size and portability compared to other Edison models. The Model C featured a Model C reproducer, capable of playing 2-minute cylinders, and was often sold with an optional 14-inch brass bell horn. While the Edison Standard and Gem models also used the Model C reproducer, the Home model C was relatively rarer. It is carried in a wood box case and is very portable. The phonograph is in working condition and comes with a cylinder from the National Phonograph Company titled, "Edison Gold Moulded Records / Echo All Over The World / Form No. 680". The small switch near the front controls the speed of the roller, while switches on the side will lock the top of the case to the base. The metal plate on the photograph is marked reading, "Edison Home Phonograph Manufactured Under The Patent Of Thomas A. Edison At Orange, N.J., U.S.A." and shows a serial number of "253602". It comes with the original horn and horn crane mount but is missing the chain to attach the horn to the horn crane. The horn crane comes in three parts, a base connected to the phonograph, a straight bar to connect the support bar and the support bar where the chain would be connected to the horn. It shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. The phonograph measures 9 1/8" L x 16 1/4" W x 13" H, while the horn measures 18 1/2" L x 18 1/2" W x 24 1/4" H. They have a collective weight of 32 pounds and 14 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona.
