Columbia “AN” Cylinder Graphophone

Columbia AN Cylinder Graphophone 

The Columbia “AN” phonograph is an intriguing historical artifact. Renowned for its unique design and craftsmanship, the “AN” model featured nickel-plated bedplates and flip-switch brakes mounted on the motor board. This unusual cylinder Graphophone combined elements from the Columbia A and N models, with the A’s upperworks attached to an N motor. Columbia named this machine the Bijou, a moniker it would later reuse. Discontinued around October 1898, the “AN” boasts a plain oak case similar to the “N” model. The gramophone has undergone a comprehensive mechanical restoration, including the case, bedplate, and upperworks, restoring it to an aesthetic that rivals or surpasses its original condition. As a distinguished addition to any home or office, this gramophone represents an exceptional choice, offering guaranteed satisfaction and a nickel-plated horn.
