My father recently acquired an antigue phonograph and I am looking for information on the manufacturer. The phonagraph is a wind up phonograph. It a cabinet style unit with the turntable mechanism and sound box on the right side of the cabinet. The left side of the cabinet is a storage area for phonographs. The only markings/labels we have found so far are a manufacturer's decal on the inside lid that says Excel Phonograph Company, Chicago and the number 28 stamped into the top edge of the back board of the unit.
Does anyone have any information on this manufacturer?
Thanks
