Here's a stunning Victor V disc phonograph with a rare Hawthorne & Sheble "Artistic" flower horn. Phonograph and horn are both ca. 1910, and both are in exceptionally nice original condition.The V was Victor’s top-of-the-line oak phonograph and its largest oak phonograph. It was also the ultimate workhorse, with a massive 3-spring motor capable of playing multiple sides with a single winding. Hawthorne & Sheble's Artistic horns featured polished metal surfaces (in this case nickel) with decorative floral interiors. Condition of this Victor V is excellent, close to mint, and it's completely original. No replica parts, no repairs, no refinishing, no issues whatsoever. The back-bracket decorations are nearly flawless, and both paper labels (one inside the cabinet, the other on the underside of the base) are still intact and nearly perfect.Original crank, original brake, original horn elbow, original turntable felt, etc. Scattered areas of surface oxidation on the nickel-plated tonearm, but the phonograph is otherwise almost like new.Take a look at the pictures. They tell the story better than I can.
I've been selling and shipping the world's nicest antique phonographs for more than 20 years. When you purchase an antique phonograph from me, you'll receive a phonograph that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), and you'll receive a phonograph that includes thorough but easy-to-understand set-up and operating instructions, so you won't be left scratching your head, trying to figure out how it works. Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how it works or how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
