Originally priced at $18, Hawthorne and Sheble offered these cabinets both with and without glass enclosures. An example of a cabinet without the glass enclosure can be seen behind and to the left.

Hawthorne and Sheble offered these cabinets for most phonograph and graphophones of the period. An example of a type #330 and a Nonpareil can be seen here. The #330 has a shorted glass top, while the #430 shown here is several inches taller. H&S charged a $2 premium for the #430 and #440 (for the Edison Concert mechanism) cabinets to cover the additional cost of construction.

Top works and under-glass cover.

The original owner cut off the tops of each of his cylinder boxes and pasted them here. Based upon his tastes, "coon" songs must have been very popular. It is thought that this cabinet originated in the Ohio region.

Glass top in the open position.

Hawthorne and Sheble only offered these cabinets for a couple of years. The Edison Home appears to have been the most common sold based upon the number of examples seen today. The Edison Standard, Concert and Triumph/Spring Motor are rarely seen today.
