 844: Polyphon, 1897

 

Polyphon 19 5/8" Upright Disc Music Box, 1897

This is an unusual machine - a beautiful walnut-cased Polyphon with an eight-day clock in the pediment, but in all my years I have never seen this style of case before. The proportions are beautiful, with the disc bin significantly taller than other similar Polyphons. The name Johannjax, Linz and Salzburg is carved into the motor cover, and the motor is dated 1897. It is all original, the sound is superb, and it comes with fifteen discs.
