I agree with Bill. I've seen four or five A/N on ebay in that time span. I remember the cheapest was 650.00, the others were right at 800.00. One was in very nice cosmetic condition with some paperwork. I almost bid on it myself it was so nice, then came to my senses about 'where' I would put it. Check religiously and one will pop up.

I have seen 4 up for sale in the last 2 years on eBay. They seem to be worth about 800 bucks.

Thanks. I've read the Frow book many times, but I was hoping for something
more recent and maybe crowd-sourced.

How about the second half of my inquiry: How difficult would it be to find
one today in fairly good condition, and how much should such an example
command in today's market?

Check the Frow book -- he certainly gives production history for the model.

I am not sure whether those statistics exist anywhere. If anyone would know
it would be Author and Edison Historian and expert Ron Dethlefson or
possibly the curator of the Edison Historic Site. I have an original Army &
Navy, and it has serial number 2934, which is one of the highest serial
numbers I have encountered for A&N Edison phonographs. How many still exist ? I could wager a wild guess and say, maybe less then 100 ? again, just a guess. I am not sure what % survival estimates, phonograph historians place
on models where the actual production output is known.

Does anyone have any idea how many Edison Army & Navy phonographs were made during World War I, and how many might still exist? How hard would it be to
find one in good (preferably original) condition, and what should one
expect
to pay for one?
