Amazing! I appreciate this so much. People always ask when it was made and I have only been able to approximate. Thanks so much! Dave

Can you tell me when Home number 276 131 was born? That's the one with the repeater I am trying to find parts for. I also have Home H 173 676 if it is not too much trouble to ask.

By extrapolating the monthly sales, a reasonably accurate idea of when a machine left the factory can be determined. It's very helpful for research. I promised not to publish this data until the donor does so, but in the meantime I can help other collectors date machines.

Since the Gentlemen told me that he had purchased them years ago together, I often wondered whether the Banner Home was used to record the Cylinders. Oddly the gentlemen told me that he had never used it or played it and the case and everything on it were in pristine shape, just needed a good lube and oiling to get it going again. Covering the top of the serial number plate and extending under the mandrel was something I had never come across before, what I presume was an off Market shavings catcher, so when I removed the catcher which had obviously been in place for many many decades the nickle plated serial number tag was just like new. What would be the approx. date of mfg. of H29180 ? This would give me some clue as to whether it was actually used to make the Brown Wax cylinder Recordings.

It's one of the nicest condition machines I've seen in a long time-- decal is near mint, original stitched belt in good shape, gold is 95%+. Just a beautiful machine that was complete with a 42" all brass horn, original crane and 103 cylinders. I love it!!
