These are original antique mechanical music discs made for a Symphonion / Imperial Symphonion disc music box. Several still retain readable song titles and catalog numbers, while others have significant fading from age.
Included in the lot are identifiable titles such as:
- The Bride Elect March — John Philip Sousa
- At a Georgia Camp Meeting — Two-Step by Kerry Mills
- Daisy Bell — Song by Harry Dacre
- 2 additional Imperial Symphonion discs with titles that are no longer clearly readable
The discs feature the distinctive outer ring of drive holes/dimples used by this style of Symphonion mechanical music system.
These are genuine antique pieces and show considerable age-related wear, including:
- Surface oxidation and discoloration
- Scratches and scuffs
- Fading and loss of original printing
- Tarnish and finish wear
- General antique patina
They have not been cleaned, polished, restored, or tested. I do not have the proper Symphonion machine available to play them, so they are being sold untested and as found.
Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition, edge wear, perforations, surface condition, and remaining artwork.
A great group for collectors of antique music boxes, Symphonion machines, mechanical music, perforated metal music discs, Victorian-era musical antiques, or early recorded music media.
You will receive all 5 discs shown in the photographs.
Sold as-is, untested, and in original antique condition.
