Vintage Antique Victor V 5 Phonograph With Spearpoint Horn All
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:14814061 | Brand: Victor |
This is a Victor V phonograph with oak spearpoint horn thats all original. I got this from the direct descendants from Baldwin NY estate 22 years ago. Its now time for someone else to take care of it. Condition is extremely solid with no cracks, chips, or separations. Incredible condition for a machine thats over 100 years old. Still has the original felt which has no wear marks. Original feet are still present. Plays strong and loud. I just noticed that the reproducer is not original ...but I have the proper one in its original box as shown in the last pic. You will receive both reproducers. Horn is nice and rigid as is the case. Few small issues are a few dents in the elbow and the brake pad is missing, but you can get that online. Pictures tell the story and ask questions before I box it up. It will be shipped in two boxes for a shipping charge of about $150. You are encouraged to pick this item up.
There was some concern about a crack in the horn. These digital photos can be tricky. If you look at the 3rd pic you can see a white scuff mark, just underneath that it appears to be a chip or crack in the veneer. I re-photographed the area as shown in the last two pics. All appears fine except for some tiny flaking of the finish in the gullies of the horn as shown. Your encouraged to ask questions, I want you to be satisfied with your purchase. I also reduced the buy it now price.
If you live locally, your welcome to inspect the phonograph. I would also accept 3K even. If you pick it up and pay cash.
