Columbia, Type B Graphophone

The Columbia Type B Graphophone Phonograph

This model Graphophone was made between 1897 and 1906 and is called an “Eagle” and was available with or without a case. This phonograph has a two spring motor and was able to play two cylinder records with one winding, a step up from the Model Q Graphophone. The Type B usually came with a ten inch black horn with a gold stripe painted near the top, but other horns were also available. The phonograph got its name “Eagle” because of its selling price, a Ten Dollar Gold Piece was called an “Eagle” when this Phonograph was sold. If bought with a case it was $2.00 extra.
