[Phono-L] Maroon Gem
Hi All: I'm getting out of the Sonora business. The Baby Grands are taking up too much space, despite how much I've enjoyed them over the years. Played with some Edison Gem models recently and had a lot of fun with them. Can anybody provide me with some leads to a Maroon Gem (Model D) with the K-reproducer for sale? I'd be happy with a basket case that I can tinker with or a strong runner that I can wind up and play. Just haven't seen many (in any shape) in the usual channels of late. Let me know! Thanks in advance! Christopher Roe, Chicago. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Re: [Phono-L] edisonia for sale!
This artifact has an interesting history as it is apparently a piece of galvanized sheet metal from the now demolished Edison building in New London, WI. The structure was originally built in 1891 as a door factory and later sold to the Wisconsin Chair Co. Edison purchased the company in 1917 for the manufacture of phonograph cabinets. The plant expanded as Edison Wood Products and soon became the town's largest employer with over 600 men and women making cabinets. By 1927 production shifted to furniture and in particular juvenile furniture. This product niche literally saved the town during hard times that followed. Edison Little Folks Furniture became highly successful and was later acquired by Simmons Company in 1965. In 2005, the company outsourced manufacturing to plants in China and the New London factory closed. Four years later, the building were demolished and one of the last building to retain the name Edison fell. A salvage company is currently re-cycling some of the bricks and flooring materials. http://urbanevolutions.blogspot.com/2008/07/historic-woods-from-thomas-edison.html We are currently working on a research project in association with the local museum in New London and the Edison-Ford Winter Estates.
