SN 146572. Circa 1898 serial No. 146572. Oak case and base in very nice condition with original finish that has been glossed over. Original decal on lid is excellent. Nickel platting on mechanism is excellent, possibly the highly nickeled model option that was offered, even the governor weights are nickeled. Reproducer is stamped “Columbia Photograph Co. New York USA Pat Oct 18 1894”. The most outstanding feature aside from the condition is the normal aluminum tag in the front has been replaced with a tag that reads “Eastern Talking Machine Company. 177 Tremont St. Boston Mass. USA”. Comes with original 10” cone horn which is correct for this model, with 97% paint on the outside and 85% on the inside. A common machine with uncommon features.
