Antique phonographs enjoyed a vigorous commercial existence 100
years ago. The market they inhabited was as filled with options,
accessories, gadgets and gizmos as today's late-night television is
populated with slicers, dicers, car waxes and beauty secrets.
Collectors have acquired, examined and used these peripherals for
years, but little has been written about them. In an effort to
reveal more about the fascinating accessories, horns, storage
cabinets, advertising and ephemera which surrounded the antique
phonograph, the authors have examined nearly 20,000 pages of
primary documents, and photographed examples from over 35
collections. Over 500 color photographs illustrate nearly 700 items
from the early years of recorded sound. To finally discover this
long-lost aspect of the antique phonograph hobby is something akin
to Dorothy's first faltering steps into the Land of Oz. The world
is suddenly in Technicolor! There is suddenly more excitement, more
romance, more fun-as readers of this book will happily discover.
