Description

This vintage, softcover promotional booklet from the late 1910s to early 1920s showcases the Columbia Graphophone Company’s premium line of phonographs in “Exclusive Period Designs.” Featuring a blue faux-marbled paper cover, this elegant advertising piece includes detailed illustrations and descriptions of high-end cabinetry styles, such as the “Simplified Adam, P-27” model. The reverse side features a distinct distributor stamp for “The Grafonola Shop” located at 1120 Grand Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Objectively, the item is in very good, stable condition, showing clean text pages alongside honest signs of handling, light edge wear, minor foxing/smudging, and small rust spots from the original binding staples. H 7″, W 5″, D 0.1″. Please see photos for condition. From the Allan Koenigsberg collection.
