Sounds of the Past Come Alive at 38th Annual Phonograph
& Music Box Show & Sale
Article & photos by Brian Maloney
Donley’s Wild West Town in Union, Illinois once again played host to what has
become the world’s largest show of its kind - the thirty-eighth annual
Phonograph & Music Box Show & Sale. From its humble beginnings in the
1970’s, when a few collectors spread their wares out on the lawn, the show has
certainly grown up. Serious collectors from as far as Europe and Asia now make
the trip here each year to visit the very best dealers in this specialized collecting
field. From machines to parts to vintage recordings, this is about the best place
in America to find what you’re looking for.
