Description

A wooden phonograph player with a rectangular base and concaved half circle top. There are notches on the side that "lock" the concaved top on, and when you un clip the notches, the top comes off to reveal the player inside. The concaved top also has a handle on the very top. On the front of the wooden rectangular box there is an "Edison" logo, and when the top is removed, on the metal equipment there is a trade mark that reads "Thomas A Edison." On the right there is a metal plate with patent information. The patent number appears to be "L0357." There is a metal hook of sorts extending out from the front of the box, with a metal piece that attaches to it. On the right side of the rectangular box there is a handle that is used to wind up the player.
