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 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.
Name The Artist
This painting was purchased from a private dealer in NYC. The question our private collector has is who is the artist?
