Also called Square Top Standard.
This phonograph was made in 1900
Early version of the Standard Phonograph
and predecessor of the Standard Phonograph Model A that was introduced
in 1901. An earlier model (made in 1898) had only two latches in
the lid. Rather dangerous, as the machine is very heavy. This
model is a bit dull; there are no colourful transfers on the oak
cabinet, the bedplate has some simple decorations and the
name Edison only appears on the type plate. The phonograph shown
above has a Model C reproducer and the witch hat horn is a replica. The
original price was $20.
