My new Standard Model A arrived today. I'm curious about it's approximate age. It has a beautiful green oak finish still intact as well as what appears to be a well maintained original brass and black horn. Plays loud and clear with it's Model C reproducer. Now I just need to locate more 2 minute cylinders! I only have 2 that will play on it. Here is a photo! Attachments:

If you provide a serial number, I can tell you when the National Phonograph Company sold it to a jobber.

That's the only serial number I see on the machine, on the brass tag on the bedplate- the one I provided in the title of the message (S151013). Should I be looking for a different number elsewhere?

Sorry - I didn't notice the serial number in the message title. Edison Standard No.151013 left the factory about June 1904.
