Could well be, these machines had such a long production time but any information like this is more than welcome. Thanks for viewing please like and subscribe if you can see my other clips!
It’s based on the laughing song and was recorded in 1926 as the laughing policeman. Charles Penrose originally recorded the laughing policeman in 1923 or 22 again based on the laughing song. He also recorded it again and again and again on different labels with different variations. One variation was laughing PC Brown on winner.

Hi Chris. Beautiful machine and great sound. I have a player with an early Columbia arm and horn. No idea if the base is Columbia as it has no name on it just a supplier/dealer badge but its certainly a period base and front wind too. Video link here ruclips.net/video/xEQabR1Z7uA/видео.html and also here ruclips.net/video/-J0uzAoVvVo/видео.html . Would you know anything about it? Cheers Paul
Gramophonic Reevolution Sorry I’ve only just seen your note. I’ve had a look at your clips and assuming that this machine is not a marriage, and I don’t think it is, I think you have quite a rare machine there. Certainly the back bracket, tonearm and sound box is Columbia but I don’t recognise the horn to be Columbia, but as these are always a screw in fixing I’m thinking that the horn has been made by Columbia for third-party supplier. The same applies to the base. Looking at it I would think that the back bracket has been fixed to the wrong side but in the absence of any redundant boltholes I’m assuming that this is actually correct to the base. I’m presuming that there are no further redundant holes with respect to either the crank or the motor mounts. I’m thinking this could be an unidentified scheme machine. Columbia made for many suppliers. Is there any evidence that the turntable spindle has been milled down to accept a normal size record? The machine doesn’t look cobbled together and I think it’s a rather splendid item. Sorry for the late reply keep Enjoying the clips!
Imagine hearing this at night
It’s very loud!🤣
It would be creepy
Very nice Columbia Gramophone great sound .Troupee. 👍🎷🎷👍
Thank you! This one has a very nice tone!
The speed control on the top and the 12'' turn table suggest a few years after 1906. I'd say around 1912.

Isn't that the Laughing Song?
