Anyone here collect old Phonograph players, or "talking machines"?

My patent attorney friend was able to come through for me. He found the patent, filed on January 16, 1917. The patent was awarded December 28, 1920. Looks like they may have gone into business after applying for the patent, and gone out of business before it was awarded! The inventor was a man named Robert L. Poe. The document is pretty interesting to read. I've attached it to this post.
