Barbara was correct!! It is an old Phonograph Player!! It is an Edison Diamond Disc Player to be exact!
It was made sometime between 1916 and 1924. It sounds fabulous!! We are having a great time listening to the 35 records that came with it. The records can only be played on an Edison machine and they must be played using a diamond stylus. They are a 1/4 inch thick and can be found rather readily on ebay. We know our player is not period accurate for the 1880's but we think it will make our little farmhouse feel like home!!
Barbara, email me and let me know where to send your Mini Lantern! Since there were only two other entries, except for an anonymous we decided to send both Kate and Mountain Home Quilts a Mini Lantern. So if both of you ladies would email me with your addresses I will get your lanterns in the mail!!
Thank you to all who entered our first giveaway, we had great fun and hope to do many more contests in the future!
