Britian's Best Talking Machine Needles
  

Britain's Best Talking Machine Needles
Red lid with the side brass color. The tin has some printing on it which is somewhat difficult to make out. I believe it states, ' Tayler's G Bham.' There is some corrosion /scratching / wear on the side of the tin, but no other scratches at all anywhere else-top or bottom. Inside the top lid, is a paper insert that states, 'Use Each Point Once Only.' There is also a narrow paper strip (like a thin cigar band) that looks like it might have been around the needles at one time. It states, 'Use Each Needle Once Only Medium.'

His Master's Voice Full Tone Needles
Copyright Canada 1900 by Emile Berliner
Red lid with the side brass color. There are some scratches on the bottom but you can still read, ' 200 needles Use Each One Only Once His Master's Voice. Montreal.'
 
Antique Horse From Adirondacks
    
 

Antique Carousel Horse from the Adirondacks
The horse is painted but the wood is solid mahogany. It is very heavy as it took two of us to move it. This piece is very much loved and not for sale, but this private collector would appreciate any information one could share about the history behind the horse.
