Hi Dean,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Lacking the belt and horn are, unfortunately but perhaps not surprisingly, going to hurt the value of this phonograph, which, even complete but in as-is condition, has a value of just $150-200. The added cylinders are a nice touch but are worth just a few dollars on their own.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An antique Edison oak home phonograph
standard B-model, circa 1901
serial number H200159.
Together with four Edison cylinders
the front of the box with gilt stenciled banner marked "Edison Home Phonograph"
12 inches high, 16 inches wide, 8-1/2 inches deep
CONDITION: lacking horn and belt
PROVENANCE: inherited
$ 75-100*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
