Ron,
What exactly do you need?

Today I received this weeks Bloomsberg Business Week magazine (Jan
28-February 3rd issue). There is a two page story on the sale of the HMV Group
in
the UK and the value of the Nipper trademark.). It is not yet ON line - but
will in a day or two and I can probably post link. But meanwhile
These are from Lima, Peru and I believe they are made by the same guy who makes
Victor six cabinets, columns, capitals, etc. - so good you can't tell the
difference, especially in 10-20 years, when the finish ages. Judging by the
quality of the horn in the pic, it will probably have a negative
Are these similar to the Gfell horns? Any opinion on the quality,
authenticity of one vs the other? I am seriously tempted to buy this horn,
I think it would look great on my opera. I have a nice opera with an
original horn that the previous owner a mediocre restoration job and now
it is coming
I would say similar, only because of the photo - I haven't seen one in person -
photo looks great and the comment from another buyer seemed to say the same
thing. I did see the Vic six case, though, and it was exceptionally well made -
if it came from the same guy. It came from somewhere in
Eduardo in Peru, his work is excellent. Write him, he answers.

Hello Everybody,
As many of you know, I am a middle school music/band teacher and I always run a
unit about Edison and the phonograph. We always end the unit by recording on a
wax cylinder.
For the first time in many years, I am teaching two 6th grade general music
classes along with my band
Yes, this is the same guy from Peru who makes Victor VI cabinets, horns and
Victor VI record cabinets. Just scroll down his listing to the bottom and you
will see pics of his other offerings - fabulous...
Just make sure that you don't teach them everything about Edison, he was
very hard on employees and paid a low working wage and fired most who
disagreed with him. He had a strange view-almost myopic view about art, the
people that produced it and music. If it didn't fit his view or like he

You might not want to mention the elephant execution either...

Thanks for the tip, Abe! I will certainly leave all of that out. Especially the
anti-Semitism!

And just like his good friend Henry Ford he was very anti-Semitic.
Abe,
I have studied Edison for some thirty years. Could you please give me some
concrete evidence that Edison was anti-Semitic?
Yes...we know that Ford idolized Edison, and we have proof of Ford's
antisemitism.
But where is
Abe, I've read DOZENS of biographies of Edison, and none of them said he was
anti-Semitic. Some of them specifically said he was not anti-Semitic. Just
because he knew Ford doesn't mean he agreed with him. Also, I don't recall any
biographies saying Edison paid low wages or that employees
I agree. It's a good idea that I leave that out!

I had never heard of it before either until Abe mentioned it tonight. Since I
am not an expert, I assumed there was supporting evidence. Glad to hear it may
not be completely accurate.

Fascinating. I don't recall reading or hearing about his being
anti-Semitic, but knowing how common that was I wouldn't be surprised. I
know he was no friend to labor and had more than his fair share of strikes.
I'm sure those who worked more closely to him felt lucky to be working for
