[Phono-L] Phonographs in New Orleans

[Steve Andersen]

Here was my response to Peter......


Peter,

Here is an Edison Home Phonograph. This type was sold between 1898 and  
1899. This exact one was sold in New Orleans by the National Automatic  
Fire Alarm Co of Louisiana on Gravier St. If you look at view 2 of my  
website linked below, you can see the dealer tag. This phonograph  
would play the earlier brown wax 2 minute cylinders and have an all  
brass horn.
