Bidspirit auction | Edison H Coin Op Cylinder

Edison H Coin Op Cylinder Phonograph - Introduced in 1897, the Model H coin slot cylinder phonograph was Edison's answer to Columbia's spring wound coin operated phonographs. The Manhattan Co. had been successfully putting square top Standard mechanisms in their version of a coin operated spring wound machine at about the same time. The H stayed in production until 1901. This is a beautiful, all original machine. It is the 2nd style with the flat top carriage. Comes with the original marquee and a 15” seamless all brass flare end horn. It currently has a broken spring and the motor will need to be serviced. Measures 18.5” wide, 12” deep, 22.5” to the top of the marquee. From the Allen Koenigsberg collection.
