Edison 1919 Italian Umbrian IU-19 walnut diamond disc phonograph, victrola

Description

When this Edison Italian Umbrian IU-19 half cabinet console came out in 1919 it was, along with the C-450 18th Century Adam console, the top-of -the-line Edison phonograph at 0.  Because of the very high price for that time, examples of the IU-19 are exceedingly rare.  The IU-19 is the only Edison phonograph done in an Italian furniture style, as most Edison cabinets were done in old English and French styles.  The dimensions of this cabinet are height 40" X width 44" X depth 22".  Weight is approximately 150 lbs.  It has the largest 250 size horn and a double spring motor.  It has dual grilles of rococo design with original grille cloth.  It has a flap lid with the turntable on the right and a cupboard on the left with space for 36 Edison diamond discs.  This console is very sturdy with beefy stretchers providing strong support.  To view this phonograph in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcV6PySLxPQ
