A rare and beautifully restored piece of early disc history! Built by the short-lived Talk-O-Phone Company in Toledo, Ohio, this “Ennis” model is a true survivor from the wild west days of phonograph design—when small makers dared to challenge the giants like Victor and Columbia. With its rear-mounted nickel tonearm, smooth-running motor, and golden oak cabinet, this machine blends mechanical charm with bold, independent spirit.
The “Ennis” isn’t just rare—it’s a reminder of a time when sound was still being shaped, debated, and dreamed into existence. The “Ennis” model is part of a collection named after renowned band leaders, with an original price of approximately $25. This exquisite Talk-O-Phone Ennis front mount disc phonograph, produced over a century ago in Toledo, Ohio, is distinguished as one of the more ornate models from Talk-O-Phone. It includes the original black and brass horn, horn elbow, and support arm, all of which contribute to its striking aesthetic. It is quite rare to encounter these machines in such exceptional condition. Perfect for collectors who love the stories behind the machines, and the craftsmanship that keeps them singing.
