  • Notes
  • This manufacturer specialized in building furniture to hold turntables, records and musical cylinders. This device, advertised in the magazine "The Talking Machine", as well as having 4 drawers to hold the musical cylinders, also contains a horn phonograph. From the name (Cyclo Phone) it seems to be of its own production, but more likely it should be a device provided for demonstration. The advertisement for this and other similar furniture reads: "Our Cabinets move Phonograph and Talking Machine from the kitchen to the parlor" as the feet were equipped with wheels.
