where pray tell did he derive that knowledge from ? Me thinks very strongly, that it is a

I contacted the seller days ago and he said that as far as he knows the

Some of these enhancements were done in the early 50s, and during the
depression to improve mail order saleability of used phonos. To tell what
you are looking at you would have to be doing paint analysis to date it.
Does not realy look Factory though.

I believe it was not done at the factory. Usually the factory would put
special guilt on the casting, not the case. Either a jobber or an artistic
owner did this.

I found an auction for an Edison GEM, with rose flowered horn and
decorated case which matches and appears to be old...
Question: did Edison ever produce a machine with a flowered case to
match the horn - seller claims it to be VERY rare?
