Edison-Phonographen-Puppe, um 1890Mit Biskuitkopf, geprägt mit "224" für Bahr und Pro-schild, offener Mund, braune Glasaugen, braune Haarperücke, Kompositionskörper mit Gelenken, Zinntorso mit durchbrochenem Gitter in der Brust und abnehmbarer Hinterteil, braunes Taftkostüm, Höhe 56 cm. - Die Puppen wurden von der Edison Phonograph Toy Manufacturing Company hergestellt, die Ende 1887 gegründet wurde. Die ersten Musterpuppen erschienen im August 1889, aber die ernsthafte Produktion begann erst im Januar 1890. Die Puppen waren kein kommerzieller Erfolg. Nicht nur, daß die Mechanismen für Reparaturen nicht zugänglich waren, es gibt auch keine Hinweise darauf, daß Ersatzzylinder gekauft werden konnten, wenn die Originalzylinder abgenutzt waren. Nachdem die Produktion eingestellt worden war, wird Edison mit den Worten zitiert, daß "die Stimmen der kleinen Ungeheuer äußerst unangenehm zu hören waren". Die Puppen wurden Ende April 1890 aus dem Verkauf genommen, die Mechanismen entfernt und die Körper verkauft. Start Price: EUR 800 Zustand: (2-3/-)Edison Phonograph Doll, c. 1890With bisque head impressed "224" for Bahr and Proschild, open mouth, brown glass eyes, brown hair wig, straight-wrist jointed composition body, tin torso with pierced grill in chest and removable back door, in brown taffeta costume, ht. 22 in. - Note: Talking dolls were manufactured by the Edison Phonograph Toy Manufacturing Company, formed late in 1887. The first sample dolls appeared in August 1889 but serious production started only in January 1890. The dolls were not a success commercially. Not only were the mechanisms inaccessible for repair, but there is no indication that replacement cylinders could be purchased once the original wore out. After production had ceased, Edison is credited as saying that "the voices of the little monsters (were) exceedingly unpleasant to hear". The dolls were withdrawn from sale at the end of April 1890, the mechanisms removed and the bodies sold off. Start Price: EUR 800 Condition: (2-3/-)
