1922 Librola Library Table-Phonograph

1922DecTalkMachA hundred years ago, if you were in the market for both a fine piece of furniture and a deluxe phonograph, you couldn’t go wrong with the Librola, a combination “library table” and phonograph. It is shown here in an ad from Talking Machine World, December 1922. The set was made by the Seaburg Mfg. Co. of Jamestown, N.Y.

If you now have your heart set on owning your own Librola, this one is available on Facebook Marketplace. You’ll need to repair the phonograph, but we’re confident that most of our readers are able to tackle that job.
