Am I assuming correctly that someone even fabricated that name plate claiming a patent date in 1904? or was that lifted from an actual Oxford Jr.? No on 2nd thought it couldn't be real since the Oxford line did not replace Harvard until a few years later. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Horenstein" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 10:10:02 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Oxford Jr. Phonograph??
Well, the Phillips type screws are pretty much a giveaway, is my guess -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 5:11 PM To: Phonolist; Phono-L Subject: [Phono-L] Oxford Jr. Phonograph?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200365874976&ssPageName=A DME:X:RTQ:US:1123 What in the world is this? The Oxford Jr. is suppose to be actually a Columbia Model AP Cylinder type Graphophone at least that is what shows up in my Sears 1908 Catalogue. The Machine on Ebay even has a round Identifying plate with a patent date of 1904, I don't believe Sears used the Oxford name for its machines and records until a few years later. Also look at the name on the reproducer, it is not Columbia. Are we looking at some sort of weird Craponola here??
