Besides a phonograph manufacturer they were a vertical cut record brand. Their phonographs were equipped to play both vertical and lateral. Talking with the granddaughter of the original owner she was fairly sure the machine was purchased in Rhode Island. Just recently said contacted me back to say she found a couple more records (no Crescents unfortunately) but there was a sleeve which I asked her to send me. I have posted the sleeve here with a separate picture of the phonograph: www.majesticrecord.com/traverssleeve.htm This likely confirms that they did buy it in Pawtucket as the woman had originally guessed. The record prices on it are pretty interesting as well as citing 8 inch double sided records. I wonder if these were Crescents, or Operaphones. What I'm interested in knowing is whether the drawing of a phonograph is identifiable as a real phonograph. It shows a reproducer set up to play vertical records. Can anyone identify it?
