Entertainment from an earlier era

The antiques collection of our neighbors Sharon and Steve provides a beautifully restored and curated look into Americana of previous eras. I’m familiar with references to Wurlitzers but I can’t recall having seen more than a few.

In addition to yesterday’s Edison player, Steven and Sharon also have a Victrola, a gorgeous stereoscope viewer, and a radio from an era where they came in wood cases.

Have you been to a casino lately? The typical experience is a near overload of lights and sound. These three slot machines are frozen in a period that could barely imagine today’s experience. The one on the right, by the way, is also a mint dispenser, the candy providing a handy way to legitimize gambling during prohibition.
