Description
This captivating collector’s lot features a diverse assortment of approximately 22 vintage phonograph and Thomas Edison memorabilia items housed in a storage tray, making it a dream find for early audio history enthusiasts. The collection centers on two classic Thomas Edison bust banks—one with a bronze finish from The Lee County Bank of Fort Myers, Florida, and another in gold—alongside a wonderfully graphic, vintage Victor “His Master’s Voice” round tin featuring Nipper the dog. Additional highlights include a commemorative RCA “100 years of great music” floating-image pen, an RCA Nipper keychain, a unique miniature mechanical crank mechanism on a red velvet display insert, a boxed novelty item, and a variety of miniature die-cast gramophone replicas, novelty pencil sharpeners, souvenir brass/composition horns, and tiny phonograph components spanning the mid-to-late 20th century. Constructed from a mix of cast metal, brass, plastics, cardboard, and tin, these pieces offer a fantastic instant collection celebrating American sound recording history. The items are in varied vintage condition, showing expected signs of age including surface dust, minor scratches, light paint wear, and oxidation on the older metal components. H 11″, W 24″, D 12″. Please see photos for condition. From the Allen Koenigsberg collection.
