I’m picking up a Edison Model C-19 serial #SM123719 tomorrow. Can anyone tell me what year this is or a little more about it? Thanks!

Hi: what do you want to know, besides the year?
The C-19 was the successor to the C-250, with a few minor changes; introduced in 1919 (hence the designation), and withdrawn from the catalog in 1927. Getting an exact date by serial number may be difficult; but there is a database of C-250/C-19 examples on the Talking Machine Forum, if you search for it: that may give you a rough idea. I hope this helps.

PS: Another version of the database can be found at antiquephono.org: your serial number suggests that it was probably manufactured around the summer of 1920. if you find any interesting features on the machine (Duncan Automatic Stop; Dance, Edisonic, or Long Play reproducers, or Long Play gearing, etc.), let us know.
