  • Notes
  • Columbia Graphophone model Eagle A. Designed by the American McDonald around 1896. It is a cylinder phonograph that has had enormous success: the quality and low price (a few dollars) have facilitated its sale throughout the world. It is visually very similar to the Eagle B, BX model, probably its successor with some small variations to the device or the cover.
