A toy phonograph..... That plays chocolate records.

I thought you guys would be interested in knowing about this strange phonograph. Here, have a look: http://edisontinfoil.com/stollwercks.htm

Very quirky!

Yeah, really strange as well!Sadly I don't think the choxolate records survived. But at least they made wax and cardboard ones as well!

Columbia also offered their version -- http://www.myvintagetv.com/columbia_toy.htm

And not to be outdone, Victor offered one as well -- http://www.intertique.com/VictorTalking ... rSale.html -- though it would play the records from the standard catalog--though not very well.

Later on, starting in late 1925/early 1926, Victor offered their low end table top -- the VV-1-1 or Victrolita -- http://www.victor-victrola.com/1-1.htm --->



-- specially painted, and sold as a children's Victrola, known as the VV-1-2 or Aladdin -- http://www.victor-victrola.com/1-2.htm --->

Ah, as beautiful and fascinating as these are, they couden't play chocolate records...... Could they?

True.

By the way, just to show that everything old is new again -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVM18iJTMZs

But, of course, they err in calling it "the world's first chocolate recording."

That's awesome to actually see it play. Did the guy say he tried to make records out of cola? How is that even possibke.....

I've heard of people having to eat their words. But their music????
