The new style home case came out in 1901 and the model C came out in early 1902 so its likely the original owner upgraded. Steve

Some phonos that came out in 1901 came with the early B, the early B got the factory notch for the centering pin around serial number 18,000. Edison developed the C in 1901 and shipped samples to dealers on Jan 6 1902. By serial number 40,000 it was called the B and Edison decided to keep it for the Gem, perhaps to use up his stock of ball stylus. I know of suitcase standard with an early B with a three digit serial number. I think Edison got the idea for the hanging weight and dome top from Mobley. Mobley made these for the automatic and the early B. Steve > I've also seen early homes with early model Bs. Was that normal also?
