PLEASE NOTE: For those of you that don't know, this is the sister site of foxhillantiquescom where we have our eBay store!! On foxhilltoo, we will start some some 10-day sales with African ethnographic items and textiles, telegraphs, corkscrews, Popeye tattoos, Rowland Ward glassware, Antiquarian books, 1950's 45's with covers, and again....much, much more!! While on foxhillantiquescom, I have been saving out portions of the watercolour collections, sketchbooks, prints, paintings and books that I have purchased over the years, around 35 of these years(!), with the idea that I would at some time have a proper gallery. Now with the serious stroke that I had five years ago, I'm not too sure about anything any more and the future is very murky at best. So I've decided to open an eBay store!! I will still have $9.00 auctions, but many bidders have been asking me where these bigger and better items are....so this is it!! They are in the store!! Most, if not all, of these items will never reach an auction on eBay. I am open to offers, particularly when a few, or more, items are purchased so please let me know what price you might have in mind!!

Happy shopping!!

My Stepfather was Justus P. "Buzz" Seeburg II, who was from the famous Seeburg family of Chicago via Sweden and so this album came directly from him to me!! Milt Blink was the Executive Music Director at Seeburg and went on to hold many other positions in the music publishing and recording business. There isn't a scratch on any of these records and so I have to think that they have never been played. Each one is pressed on a reddish, see-through vinyl so very distinctive!! The smudging that you can see on one of the "Seeburg" titles on the record was caused by me as I had a bit of wax on my finger from tidying up the Telechron clock that is also listed!! Shipping will be in a flat rate large Priority Mail box and will go anywhere in the USA for $14.00. For some reason, the eBay guide has a maximum price "allowed" of $4.00 which fails to take into account more than one record!! and certainly an album of records!!....And yes, the border around the item is NOT a part of the image; it is only there to separate the item from my "foxhill" wallpaper! A highly important and collectible item!!

Automated musical equipment, such as coin-operated phonographs and orchestrions, were manufactured under the JP Seeburg and Company name for most of its early years. Until 1956, the company was family-owned. The company was founded by Justus Sjöberg from Gothenburg, Sweden. He moved to the US after graduating from Chalmers and used an Americanized spelling of his name for the company. In the late 1940s, Seeburg manufactured its popular and distinctive "trashcan-shaped" series of jukeboxes. When they began to make jukeboxes, the 78 rpm record was standard and only a few selections could be played on one machine. This changed with the Seeburg model M100A which could play 50 records front and back for a total of 100 selections, an immense variety at the time. In 1950, Seeburg introduced with the first commercial jukebox designed to play the then-new 45 rpm records. They later increased the number of records from 50 to 80, then 100 per machine. The classic M100C is featured during the opening of the "Happy Days" TV series. Seeburg also manufactured background music players, such as the Seeburg 1000, which used special 9-inch, 16? rpm records. During the 1960s, Seeburg bought many other companies, including Williams (pinball and other games). In 1979, the Seeburg Corp, was split into two companies, with the "Seeburg Phonograph Division" spun off. This did not survive, as the court closed it in September, 1979. Stern Electronics purchased all of the Seeburg production stock on hand and began producing "Stern/Seeburg" jukeboxes. This only lasted a few years, as Stern/Seeburg also was forced to close. The parts department stock was purchased by Los Angeles-based Jukeboxes Unlimited in September 1980. A few other attempts were made to use the Seeburg name, all failed. A final effort was made to save the company in the late 1980s. This effort was called "The Seeburg Phonograph Company" and was composed of some of the original Seeburg employees. It was the first to produce a CD phonograph. It remained in operation for a few years, and several CD jukeboxes were made at that time. Eventually, the company closed and now nothing remains. The Seeburg name lived again on CD jukeboxes produced in Mexico for a short time. A touchscreen digital conversion kit bearing the Seeburg name is being offered (as of February 2010).
