daisy line phonota

by digin66 » Thu May 03, 2007 7:09 pm

hello,
we have just picked up an old piece that we have never seen before in all of our travels. it is in the shape of a sofa table and it has two tone inlays. the main body of the piece is a real dark ebony stain and the accent pieces and top are stained a lighter gunstock color. the piece has two drawers on each end. one drawer has a wind up phonograph in it and the other end has a drawer for the records to be held in. If anyone has pictures or more information please forward them to me. the bottom of the legs are missing the carved pieces so we need a picture to see what they are to look like. thank you .

Does your gramophone have any identiantification tags or numbers on it?What is the marking on the reproducer saying?
These type of gramophones were made by several manufacturers; well known is Columbia who had a line these type of gramophones.A picture would help to identify

I also have a phonota that sounds to be similar to yours. The exception is mine has flip down doors on each end for record storage and the phonograph drawer pulls out from under the center of the table. There are no markings on the reproducer, nor any model numbers. It just says "the daisy line". It would be great to get some more information. Any help would be appreciated.
