Phonoland

Just wondering if anyone knows the brand and model of this electric pick-up. The only marking on it, is a "C" in a circle on the top surface down near the front. Columbia??

I wish I could see the logo better.

Several companies have used a circle with a C inside.

I was able to blow up the logo from the image, and it looks like the copyright symbol. No US manufacturer could use that after it became a government symbol.

However, the two little marks above and below the C make it look like the old GC (Callectro) logo. If so, it was a replacement tonearm sold by radio supply stores.

It could also be from a country adhering to the Berne Copyright Convention. Those countries are not allowed to require copyright notice.

Heres a photo of the cartridge if its of any help.

That type of cartridge places the arm in the late 1930s, 1940s, or early 1950s.

Well I found out what it is. It was made by Cosmocord Ltd, Enfield, Middlesex England. I saw one on ebay which had the same cartridge that had a paper label still attached.
