Here are some prices from the Forsythe Auction that closed today. Bidding was both at the auction site and on line for these items. I am not including the 15% buyers premium that they were charging.
Early Eldridge Johnson Gramophone (hand powered) (is this the $3.00 machine shown in Look for the Dog?) $11,500 Victor Orthophonic Model 4-7 $250.00 Victor II Gramophone with 24" Black Horn $1,700 Columbia Disc Graphophone with Nickel Horn $1,600 Sonora Bombay Style upright phonograph $500 Victor Model VV-XV1 Victrola $950 I believe those were the extent of the phono related items in the auction.
