"Home Premier (BM)" cylinder graphophone, Columbia, 1906. A smaller version of the "Twentieth Century Home Premier" of 1905, the BM has a reproducer with the same friction amplification system, despite being smaller in diameter. The mahogany case is rare in cylinder machines, especially in graphophones, which were almost always made of oak.
Original description from: “Fonografi e Grammofoni” by Christopher Proudfoot, Italian edition “Silvana Editoriale” 1980.

La cassa di mogano è rara nelle macchine a cilindro, specialmente nei grafofoni, che erano quasi sempre di quercia.
