Last weekend I came across an antique dealer who specializes in high
quality items related to Thomas Edison and his various inventions. The
dealer offered a wide assortment antique of light bulbs (many working), had
access to high quality reproductions of same, and also offered a wide array
of items which might be useful to museums seeking parts to repair (or
simply make acceptable for display) various Edison items. In particular,
there was an enormous selection of period wood horns for phonographs.
Please note that I am not trying to "drum up business" for a commercial
enterprise. Rather, I thought the shop might be a fine resource for some
museums.
The shop is "Sights and Sounds of Edison," 21 South Main St., Milan, OH
44846. Phone: (419) 499-3093 or (419) 499-4433 Open most days from
10AM -5PM.
BTW, Milan, Ohio, is the site of Edison's Birthplace which is open as a musuem.
