Antique Working Columbia Type BN Graphophone Phonograph Record Player with Morning Glory Horn Patent Date 1901. This is a really nice antique Columbia Type BN Graphophone phonograph with a patent date of Aug. It features the original metal morning glory horn. It can be easily removed by just unscrewing from the adapter. The original outside finish was very worn with paint loss, scratches, etc. And so it has been repainted blue with gold ribbing and looks great. There are a few slight bends in the metal which are barely noticeable. This horn measures about 18″ long with a diameter of 18 3/4″. The dark oak phonograph cabinet is in great condition as is the original Columbia logo on the front. The tone arm and horn easily swivel from side to side and the interior playing mechanism is in good working condition as well. The felt on the turntable has been replaced with new. The phonograph has been tested and is working well and sounds great. You can hear it play by going to YouTube and searching for – spiceberry1 Columbia Graphophone Phonograph.

Here’s a great little Columbia’Q’ Graphophone. The simple’Open Works”Q’ is found in two distinct versions. This being the later model circa 1901. The earlier model has a brushed metal steel bedplate, the winding key is plain and flat and the holding bracket for the governor is attached to the bedplate, circa 1897. This later model Columbia Q has a black painted bedplate with gilt striping and a fancy filigree key and the bracket holding the governor is attached to the spring mechanism body. These great little machines are very compact, measuring 8 5/8″ (220mm) wide by 5 7/8″ (150mm) deep by 6 (152mm) high when the key and reproducer and the horn are removed. Whilst the horn is only 10 (250mm) and takes up very little space. If you wanted to own a piece of history and be able to play some of the World’s earliest ever recorded voices and music then this little machine would suit you. It is so compact as to easily fit in your bookshelf or on your desk top in your home office. This machine has been around for more than 100 years and there’s no reason as to why it shouldn’t be around for another 100 years or more. It has been stipped down and cleaned and oiled. The motor purrs beautifully and is a pleasure just to sit and watch the governor and gears spinning around smoothly whilst listening to the music. There is some surface corrosion and some loss of the gold striping. This one has a wooden base which originally would have had a wooden lid to fit it. It has been fitted with a new reproduction filigree key, a new reproduction horn and a new reproduction “floating” Reproducer with a sapphire stylus made to exacting precision of the originals. The beauty of having the new Reproducer is that the sound reproduced is clear and sharp as it was meant to be when the machine was new and doesn’t sound rattly and screeching as some of the old deteriorated ones do. The spring is good and strong but as is common with these models it may need an extra couple of winds before the record has finished playing as these were produced cheaply in their day to do just the bare minimum that was required of them. There is a speed control on the side that works well. The embossed printing on the end bracket states the patent dates, the last being AUG 20 1901. These machines were only ever designed to play 2 minute records as Edison had not at this stage had the concept to produce 4 minute records which required a different Reproducer and different gearing to achieve the desired result. I have included in this sale a 2 minute cylinder record so that as soon as you unpack the player, all you’ll have to do is wind it up and slip on the record and it’s ready for you play and enjoy and be transported back into another era that our Great Grandparents thought of in their time as being the most wonderful invention ever. When family and friends would gather and listen and marvel at the voices and the music drifting through the air from such a compact, little spring mechanism. A fantastic little machine to start your collection or just to have as a piece of history. Displays well and will always be a talking point when friends visit and is also a great investment that will only keep going up in value at the same time you’re getting enjoyment from it.

You are looking at an antique Colombia GRAPHOPHONE. The graphophone come with extra needles as shown in the second photo. The graphophone appears to work, as you turn the crank and push the button and the turntable spins. The top seems to want to open, but when you go to open it the hinge appears to get hung up and prevents the top from opening. The last photo shows that one of the seams on the cone is separating, it is held together but may need to be repaired. The 11th photo shows that the threads to the cone are bent but the cone still mounts and displays nicely. The base is 13 L x 13 W. The Graphophone is 30 T from the bottom of the base to the top of the cone. The item may require further cleaning. Thank you for looking and please take time to check out my other auctions!!!
