Halloweek 2013 – Doll-O-Ween #1: Thomas Edison’s Dolls

Thomas Edison is known for many things: inventing the phonograph, championing direct current, perfecting the incandescent light bulb, slandering George Westinghouse, killing an elephant as a spectacle (warning: video link). But did you know he also invented some really creepy dolls?

Released in 1890, Edison produced 2500 of these dolls, foreseeing them as must-have items for children. Unfortunately for him, only 500 of them were sold. And many were returned by customers unhappy with their purchase.

You see, unlike the other dolls available then, these dolls talked. A tinfoil phonograph, actuated by a wooden crank that played a fragile wax record, projected a high-pitched nursery rhyme. You had to crank the handle at the speed you wanted the doll to talk, but those phonograph machines were hard to turn so mostly the dolls sounded like possessed creatures screaming in terror.

You can see for yourself in the video below.

Only a dozen or so of these dolls are still in existence. The one above, about as bare bones as you can get, netted close to four grand. I can only imagine what a doll with mechanism, record, and full outfit would catch on the market.

I imagine some grandparents of Little Fears characters may have one of these stowed away in their attic, passed down to them from their mother who got it from their mother who got it from their mother. I wonder what would happen if one of those characters tried to use the doll today.

    You know, I’ve seen these things mentioned many times on documentaries, but never once seen one in operation. I suppose the collectors who own the high quality dolls haven’t been keen on taking them out and running them for the camera.

  2. هودی ها کلاه دارند و معمولا جلوی آن ها بسته
    است و می توان طرح ها و تصاویر جالبی بر رویشان وجود داشته باشد.

    توجه: اکثر سایز های این هودی به فروش رفته‌اند.
    پیش از ثبت سفارش از طریق یکی از راه های ارتباطی با ما
    سایز مورد نظر خود را استعلام
    کنید.

  3. کلاه فرق هودی و سویشرت است
    زیرا هودی ها دارای یک کلاه مانند جنس خودشان هستند که
    دارای دو بند می باشند اما سویشرت ها معمولا بدون کلاه تولید می شوند که از این رو مهم ترین تفاوت
    هودی و سویشرت، کلاه می باشد.
