I am looking for an Ogden-Ola wind up phonograph. The most likely locations to find these would be in the Chicagoland area or Pennsylvania, where most of the units were sold. The unit does NOT need to be in good or working condition, but the Ogden-Ola decal should be genuine and intact. I am not interested in any other brand of wind-up phonograph. History to help: Ogden-Ola wind up phonographs were a low-end brand of wind up phonograph - less expensive than Victor or Wurlitzer brands. They were manufactured on Ogden St. in Chicago. |

I wonder if the Ogden-ola is related to other phonographs made on Ogden Avenue in Chicago. I found a page that lists two that were mentioned in Talking Machine World back in 1919/1922. http://www.garlic.com/~tgracyk/makers.htm 263 Machines and Their Makers: 1916-23 240. Usona -- Usona Talking Machine Company, 1977 Ogden Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. July 1919. 241. Valuphone -- Wizard Phonograph Co., Inc., 1977 Ogden Ave., Chicago, Illinois. March 1922. http://www.garlic.com/~tgracyk/portable.htm "Also in the March [1922] issue [of Talking Machine World] is an ad for the Portable Valuphone, made by the Anton Cummings' Wizard Phonograph Company of Chicago. Advertisements declared that the portable featured double-spring motors and tonearms made by Otto Heineman's General Phonograph Corporation." Certainly no use to you if you want a genuine and intact Ogden-ola decal: http://www.antiquemystique.com/pages/5802_jpg.htm Antique "The Valuphone" made by the Wizard Phonograph Co. in a wood case with brass corners and record storage department but the arm is missing. Price $ 75 |
