Catalogue - Mechanical Music. Symphonion Manufacturing Co. - Symphonions.

Title: Symphonions.
Description: NY printed, the company [1894]. Octavo publisher's printed wrapper (chipped and close to detached); 29pp, illustrations. Outwardly dishevelled but decent enough. Loosely inserted are some small sheets which seem to be an owner's catalogue of their discs. ¶ Fourteen models, from the modest No.28 (crank driven) to the sublime Eroica, near seven feet of neo-renaissance kitsch and 'Very Loud, Magnificent Music; Expressive.' Also a partial list of the steel music discs; a large and complete list is announced to be ready on Jan 1, 1895. But nowhere can I find an address to send to.
