Numbers in ‘curly brackets’ are an initial approach to providing a unique identification code for each known gramophone in the form {Mark-Number}. In the case of machines with a known serial number (at the end of each Mark list) the identification code is given as {Mark-#serial number}

Price realised is given at the end of a listing in cases where a machine was reported as a result of an auction or sale and if a realised price is quoted. Note that some auctions quote a “hammer price” to which must usually be added the buyer’s commission (often around 23%) and any applicable taxes (such as VAT). Clicking on the link for a machine will provide such documentation as has been identified, including where applicable the on-line auction listing.

Source abbreviations include: “G.R. Register” - the original list of identified surviving EMG gramophones with known serial numbers, which formed the core of this now supplemented list; TMF - The Talking Machine Forum (British & European Machines), where often very expert collectors tend to exchange information and views; online auction system ebay; and the auction houses Auction Team Breker, Bonhams and Christies which run regular speciality auctions focusing on the history of science and technology.
