One of the modifications of the most popular phonograph model, the Standard, created by inventor Thomas Edison at the turn of the century. In every way, it lives up to its name—a truly standard device that was remarkably simple in both construction and operation. This practicality quickly earned it the favor and affection of many owners.
Compact yet sturdy, the Standard was built to last. With a durable design and a lid featuring a handle, it was easily portable, adding to its widespread appeal and long production run.
The piece in our museum is a well-preserved and fully functional example, bearing the graceful patina of its era—a testament to the craftsmanship and enduring legacy of this iconic phonograph.
