PUBLISHERS DESCRIPTION:
The commercial development of the phonograph, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, inspired a host of adjunct technology, from fancifully-painted flower horns to record storage disguised as furniture. Here are gadgets to make any snake oil salesman proud. A lively tour of these utterly entertaining objects is illustrated with 555 color photographs. To aid the collector there is a guide to current values.
