Hi All,
Some years back we purchased a table top Edison B-19, Chalet model also
called Bungalo. Both the Edison D.D. phonograph and the record cabinet are made
of gumwood.
The record cabinet with a 36 record file for diamond discs records was made
exclusively by Haag and Bissex of Philadelphia with a patent date of Jan. 4,
1916.
I have always had some questions that needed answered about this set.
Did Edison make many different style phonograph wooden cases of gumwood?
Were the record cabinets made just to match his B-19 phonographs or others?
Did Haag and Bissex make other furniture made of gumwood?
Does anyone have any information on Haag & Bissex fron Phila?
Where did gumwood come from, what country?
AND, with a note I passed saved in my Edison B-19, the phono came with a
light green silk fabric for the grill cloth, where can I find something close
to
this?
Phonograph really needs a new grill cloth!
Any help with any of these questions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joan
