1905 to 1908 Edison Home Phonograph Model D.
The Model D was the first Edison Home Phonograph model to include factory-installed 2/4 minute gearing. By this feature it was able to play the "older" 2-minute (duration) cylinders, and the newer which were 4 minutes in duration. The cabinet, with bentwood cover is dark oak.

This Phonograph plays with such brilliance, clarity and volume because it employs what we consider to be the finest reproducer Edison ever made -- the Diamond B. The record is played by a genuine diamond stylus, and the reproducing diaphram is made of cork-dampened laminated Japanese rice paper. Edison's approach to solving a problem was to test EVERY imaginable substance to achieve the results he wanted. This is how such a seemingly bizarre material such as Japanese rice paper came to be the very BEST medium for sound reproduction.

The original Edison Cygnet horn has its original paint, gold striping and decals.

The lid may be put over the mechanism to protect from dust, without removing the horn -- and important feature.

The Home Model D plays 4-minute celluloid cylinder records, such as Edison Blue Amberols. (It can also play celluloid 2-minute cylinders such as Indestructibles.)

Includes twenty eight, (count them, 28), 4 minute cylinders. Serial Number of this unit is: 296773

Inside the cover a paper is affixed which reads exactly:
