Let them know. Date: 2006-03-12, 9:01PM CST Rare Original Shipping Crate (box and lid) for a Thomas A Edison Disc Upright Phonograph, of Orange New Jersy. Date of last patent was May 23 1916, so this piece is in the same time period. The original phonograph which came in the box was a Model 250 Diamond Disc Official Laboratory Model. This crate was shipped originally to Souix City, Iowa (address stenciled on the side) and the phonograph was owned by my great aunt, whose parents originally immigrated from Norway. The box has been stored in a barn loft for 90 years, 2 miles west of Irene, South Dakota. In the corner of the lid there is a unique sticker of a woman standing next to a phonograph that reads" The New Edison--The Phonograph with a Soul". This piece is a great conversation piece and I am sure someone will do something really original with this different kind of antique. Local pickup only. Please contact me on cell# 512-619-3374. Thank you for your interest. this is in or around Austin Texas no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list [email protected] Phono-L Archive http://www.oldcrank.org/pipermail/phono-l/
