Columbia Type Q Graphophone & Cylinder

An early 20th-century Columbia Type Q key-wind cylinder Graphophone phonograph, manufactured by the American Graphophone Company of New York, N.Y. This turn-of-the-century tabletop record player features an open cast-iron frame with patent dates through August 20, 1901, a key-wind motor mechanism, a black metal horn measuring 10.5" long with a 4" opening diameter, and includes an original Columbia cylinder record container with a black cylinder record ("Mildred Schottische", measuring 4.5" tall by 2.75" in diameter). The machine itself measures approximately 9" wide by 6.25" deep by 5" tall. The seller reports the machine is operational. Visually, the metal components exhibit oxidation, tarnish, and minor pitting, while the painted black wooden/metal base displays edge wear and fading to the original gold pinstriping. The horn displays light surface scuffs and minor finish wear. The cylinder record shows visible surface gouges and scratching, and the cardboard record container exhibits significant wear, fraying, edge damage, and age discoloration. H 5", W 9", D 0.52”.
