Phonograph Records And Books Auction - ONLINE ONLY
Lot 2006:
Description
This lot features a fascinating assortment of reference material spanning the evolution of early audio and communication technology. These comprehensive guides, which include reference works on Edison Blue Amberol recordings by Ronald Dethlefson, detailed documentation on Edison, Lambert, and Columbia grand records, a historical overview of the phonograph by Roland Gelatt, a modern reprint of J. Lewis Young’s 1893 The Phonogram journal, and an early RCA manual. The collection provides a deep technical and historical dive into late 19th and 20th-century talking machines and early home radio setups. While the paper elements show some superficial wear, the text blocks remain a vital treasure trove of information. The exterior surfaces present general handling wear and light soiling; specifically, the cover of Radio Enters the Home shows heavy wear and edge fraying, though its internal pages remain complete. When stacked, the group measures approximately H 4.5″, W 11″, D 9″. See photos for condition.
