Dear Wayne, I want to thank you publicly for all you have done for our hobby. Anyone who knows you understands what a kind and generous person you are, and I wish you great success in liquidating your collection. I'll keep your health issues in my prayers, too. Sincerely, Dave Dazer

I would prefer to sell all to one person as I simply cannot stand to ship things . . . too much time and stress. I live on I90 in east/central South Dakota. Perfect for someone on the way to Union. I have around 36 phonographs. Most are pretty run of the mill rear mount disc, cylinder, etc. Best, in my opinion, is a Col BS, Victor V with oak speartip horn, early Victor III, a Triumph with outstanding pin striping (not sure if I spelled that right), two replica tinfoils - Ray Phillips Hardy and Paul G (don't remember his last name but I think he is from PA area) Gillette . . . along with quite a bit of tinfoil sold several years ago by a well known collector - and I don't think it is available any more, along with an assortment of parts and horns. A few phonographs are uprights but doubt anyone would be that interested in them although there is a restorable Puritan Bombay. I may even be interested in parting with my paper ephemera including about 200 original/antique phonograph related photos - most are cabinet card style but there are some postcards and others, an original phonograph demonstration handout from the 1880s or 90s, several original phonograph (Valley Forge, etc) catalogs, letters from dealers, etc. You would really need to look through the items when the phonographs are picked up to see if you are interested in the paper items. In the past I've posted emails to sell parts of my collections. My descriptions are always rather vague at first. But if someone is interested then I've sold the items. In fact I've always sold what I've mentioned. The last time was 2 years ago when I sold some parts. Sold some phonographs about 7 1/2 years ago. I don't like selling but once I am committed to a sale I follow through. I don't think anyone has been disappointed in what they've bought from me in the past. My reasons for selling are pretty simple. Lingering health issues from three heart procedures in 2 1/2 yrs. Also I've become interested in other things. My pc is a piece of crap so it is pretty difficult to send photos. My daughter is visiting from out of state next weekend and I am sure she can send some photos through her cell. (I don't have one.) I am busy the next few days so will not respond to any emails until at least Tuesday night. I will not take any phone calls until then either. I want to be able to send the same email to anyone interested. The email will also include my telephone info if someone wants it. After that point I will respond to people as they send me emails. I will email one person at a time and will not play one person off against another. If no one is interested in the entire collection of machines I will consider selling the machines separately or consigning to an auction house like Stantons. For those of you concerned about who I am or want to make sure that I exist. My name is Wayne Holznagel. You should be able to google me. I've been around a while so I'm a known collector. EMAILS SHOULD BE SENT OFF LIST PLEASE. <:)> Wayne H Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. --Albert Einstein _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
