#2221 Busy Bee Disc Phonograph

 

Roller Organ Details
The roller organ is in very good playing condition and the cabinet is in
very good condition with some minor wear to the finish.  The wood on the
sides, back and top appears to be oak and is 3/8" - 1/2" thick. There is
black slightly worn paint on the base molding.  The stenciled words:
"Chautauqua Roller Organ" are in good condition on the top. I think it is
all original - hinges, glass, crank, stenciling etc.  The overall base
dimensions are 15" x 18" and it is about 12.5" high. I think the bellows are
in good condition just by looking underneath.  It appears that some leather
was replaced a long time ago.  It works fine.
I have never changed the "cob" but the one that is on it -  #65 "What a
Friend We Have in Jesus" plays very loud and strong.  There are 6 others in
very good condition and most have some German writing that I think must be
the titles.  The titles are also in English on the ends (with a date of 1885
on some) but most are worn and unreadable.  A couple have paper stickers
with the following titles: #73 Jesus Lover of My Soul and #677 A Firm
Mountain is our God.

 

 

#2205 - Oak Cylinder Record Cabinet

 

PhonoScope Records
Listed in Our Postcard Shop

The records are all 45 rpm records printed on postcard stock.  They measure approx. 6" x 8" and all are in very good, unused (and probably un-played) condition.  All were printed in Switzerland and the claim is that they will "play 200 times perfectly". 

The Matterhorn scene plays Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael (2 of those)
The scene with the church steeple and person in red jacket plays White Christmas by Irving Berlin (1)
The Christmas scene in Rockefeller Center - one plays White Christmas; one plays Santa Claus is Coming to Town (2)
The street scene is "Gruyeres - The Castle" and plays Rico Vacilon Cha Cha Cha (1)
The lake scene is "St. Moritz - Lake of Sils" and plays Some of These Days de Shelton Brooks (1)
The one with the columns is titled: "Locarno" and plays Leccion de Cha-Cha-Cha (4)
The vertical one with the lake and mountain is "Amsoldingen" and plays Ev'ry Day (It's the Same) by Chatman and York; Vocal by Johnny Bell (2).
All have a 1" x 1/2" place on the back where a price sticker (not mine) used to be that either has residue or some minor paper loss in that small spot.
They are $6 each and shipping within the U.S. would be $4.00 for 1-4 of them.
