*****************
The 1918 Edison Model C150 is an 80 RPM Phonograph that sold for $175 in 1918. That is today's equivalent of approximately $4000. 18,000 of these phonographs were manufactured.
*****************
In the early 20th century, Edison phonographs were well-established as one of the leading brands in the industry. They were known for their high-quality sound reproduction and durability. By 1918, many Edison phonographs were equipped with electric motors, which improved their reliability and made them more convenient to use compared to earlier spring-wound models.
Edison phonographs typically played cylindrical records, which were different from the flat, disc-shaped records used by competitors like the Victor Talking Machine Company (which later became RCA Victor). Edison's cylinder records were known for their fidelity, and the company had a vast catalog of music and spoken word recordings.
However, by the late 1910s, the popularity of flat disc records was on the rise, and Edison faced increasing competition from companies like Victor. This led to a decline in the market share of Edison phonographs.
In summary, the Edison Phonograph Company in 1918 was producing high-quality phonographs known for their durability and sound quality, but they were facing stiff competition from companies using flat disc records, which eventually led to a decline in their market presence.
