As I said, my AN has a serial number near the 3,000 (2934) mark, and doubt if
very many more then that were actually made.

I've seen a number of ANs over the years (including my own), but I've never
seen one numbered in the 3000 range. I expect yours was one of the last ones
produced.

I agree with Bill. I've seen four or five A/N on ebay in that time span. I
remember the cheapest was 650.00, the others were right at 800.00. One was
in very nice cosmetic condition with some paperwork. I almost bid on it
myself it was so nice, then came to my senses about 'where' I would put
Makes you wonder what happened to all of the AN machines that went over to the
Battlefields of Europe to entertain the Troups, and what happened to all of
them after the War was over. How many were abandoned over there and never
brought back, and if not, what the did the respective Military
I bid on one of them too. I think I stopped at about 700 and also had the
feeling it would be a machine that might wind up in storage and felt that would
be a waste (what good is a machine if you don't play it occasionally)

I used to have a beautiful example that I picked up at an antiques mall in San
Diego back in the mid-1980's. I used to take it with me, along with a Maroon
Gem, to Bluegrass and Old-Time music festivals that I frequented and set them
up at my camp to play early country and string-band records
Wasn't there a connection between AN machines and the USS Shenandoah, a
lighter-than-air craft?

I had one and sold it for three times what I paid. Couldn't wait to get rid of
it. Ugly and clunky and huge and ungainly and heavy, and useful only to
completist collectors and WWI fans.

In the March
1919 issue of “Edison Diamond Points”, one of Edison periodical's for the
company’s
jobbers and dealers, there was an interesting quote: “when all the Army and
Navy models that have
survived the war come back to this country, someone will have to write a book
about
them”.
Ugly and clunkyness of the A N, was part of the beauty of the History of it.
It was never intended to be put on display in your living room (Quite a
frightening thought), but rather designed to be rugged, and dependable and
useful for the boys in the battlefield to lug it around and play
I really like my Army/Navy machine and would think $800 for a complete example
in good shape would be a good price. I have owned three since I started
collecting. The last one was purchased from Peter and it went to a Portland
friend. I remember reading a story about Edison donating one to be
If you are looking for an example of an AN machine that has all of its
handles and latches functional, good paint, no dry rot, all internal
spars, intact, complete manual, and not looking like it has been drug
behind a French 75 artillry cart it will cost more than $800.00. The
thing weighs

I agree with Jerry. We like our A N model for its scarcity and history. We
found ours for about $800 with the military company's insignia stenciled on
the lid. It was complete and in nice condition. We sold the one we had
before it for about half that price , but it was not complete and looked
