Larry Hancock Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Picked these guys up in St Louis today. Out of a bar where they were since the building was built. Building is gone now but they live on. All original down to the cords. 1952 models all. Just need cleaning and oil. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Arfmann Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 That foursome is a fine looking line up Larry. I have heard it said that Emerson was really doing its best design and manufacturing work with that model. Great save Larry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Zapf Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 LARRY WHEN I WAS WORKING AT THE OLD BAMBERGERS (LATER MACYS) IN DOWNTOWN NEWARK NJ IN THE LATE 1980S THE BUILDING WAS STILL FILLED WITH THOSE IN 12" AND 16" SIZES MOUNTED 4 TO A POLE FACING EACH SIDE IN LARGE ROOMS. I HAD A 12" DESK MODEL FOR MY CORNER AND WHEN THE BUILDING WAS SOLD AND WE MOVED DOWN THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY TO CRANFORD I KICKED MYSELF FOR NOT TAKING IT WITH ME BUT NOTHING ATTACHED COULD BE REMOVED. I BET THEY ALL WENT IN THE DUMPSTER, I AM VERY HAPPY YOU SAVED THESE 4 ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 16" years ago in a wine red if I remember that right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
