These rare School house models come up for sale so seldom, where would anyone be able to get an idea as to what to offer for this complete original example? Thank you for offering it to the members of Phono-L.

I have recently re-assessed my collecting goals and as a result I will be accepting offers (please don't email asking what I want for it, I want you to make the offer) on this very rare and desirable machine from my personal collection. I have no intention on placing the machine on eBay, so I invite offers via email. (I will be happy to communicate via telephone, but offers must be via email) _*Machine Details:*_ *Model:* Edison School (Opera) Phonograph *Serial No.:* 3510 *Horn:* Original 11 Panel *Other:* There are approximately 32 Edison School Operas known to exist. This example is believed to be the only known example to be 100% original and complete (retaining the original horn, stand, and the 4 boxes/drawers with their lids). The machine works well. I believe the paint on the horn to be original (my understanding when I purchased the machine is that someone had cone over the gold lines on the horn but what was on top had been removed to reveal the original lines). ---_*Pictures available on request.*_ Just email me and I'll send them through--- _*Conditions/Terms:*_ Offers submitted by email to mari...@optusnet.com.au by no later than 11:59pm Friday 5th November (PST). Please submit offers which DO NOT include shipping or insurance charges. Offers in US$ (US dollars). Payment (deposit) of $1000 after mutual acceptance of offer. Balance in 14 days via bank transfer (unless otherwise agreed). If I am not happy with the received offers I retain the right to keep the machine. Best Regards, Mario PS. The Class M in my collection is not for sale :) www.PhonographsAndGramophones.com _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
