Made by the Meteor Car Co. of Elyria, Ohio -- an ambulance and hearse manufacturer. They also sold records under the Meteor label that had the odd convention of listing the title of the B-side on the A- side along with the A-side title, and vice-versa for the B-side. Meteors were produced after the expiration of the fundamental Victor patents (after 1917) using generic motors and sound equipment in Meteor-made cabinets. Rather unremarkable machines sonically, appearance-wise, and in construction, but a neat name and logo, and kinda cool because of the car company connection. Not very valuable, I'm afraid. >From: Merle Sprinzen <msprinzen at juno.com> >Reply-To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l at oldcrank.org> >To: phono-l at oldcrank.org >Subject: [Phono-L] Meteor phonograph >Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 18:11:34 -0400 > >Someone contacted me for information about a Meteor phonograph they have, >and I can't help them.
