The case is SOLD.

The bracket mounting screws are sold.

I have available a nice Victor front mount E project. Case is $150, Motor is $200, Support Bracket is $125, Wooden Tone Arm is $125, Turntable is $80, Bracket Screws are $30, and the Record Hold Down is $80. The motor runs great. The hold down might be an old reproduction but looks great. I would consider offers for it all at once also. Thanks, Ken Brekke

Thanks Rene, Nate actually notified me of that one a couple days ago. It looks decent enough but I fear the lister having so little feedback. I can only imagine it getting here in splinters. I hope I can find one from one of our community members I can trust to handle the shipping properly.

For what it's worth, there's one on eBay right now, not properly identified: https://www.ebay.com/itm/357960020027 The seller's pictures aren't much help, alas, though the case does appear to be in excellent condition (at least from the front).

I wish I knew more about it. I know that the late Allen Koenigsberg had one. Perhaps it will be auctioned next year with the rest of his collection.

Hiya folks, Looking to buy a nice condition, all original complete AB. Please PM me here or email me fpratt1426 at gmail dot com. It must be in perfect playing condition with all nickel plating bright and shiny. The cabinet and lid must be entirely complete with a nice decal and no crushed or damaged areas, so that it displays nicely. Of course, the mandrel to play Grand cylinders is mandatory. A high-quality reproduction is fine, provided it matches the overall condition of the machine and looks period correct. Packing shall be double boxed as has been described by many of us in the past. The packing needs to be able to withstand Armageddon. With a record is a big plus. Thank you, Fran

That's a great mystery item! It has a very good look to it. I'd like to see Chatwood somehow relate. I think the printing technique is Flexography. It was around during this time period. The way the ink looks to have an outline and pools to the center is a trait for this method. That's all I got. James.

James, Photos added. Like you, I have not found any additional data. I've never had the back opened. It does wind, but does not operate.

Rod, Please show a photo of the back of the clock and a sharp close-up of the Edison logo Have you ever opened it, to identify the movement and its markings? My searches have not found anything of use for "chatwood" plus ... antique clock edison novelty or novelties phonograph or phono music dealer advertising talking machine ... or with smaller businesses that may also carry phonograph jeweler optician chemist druggist James.

I've had this for a number of years but have no information on it's background. I thought I would post it here for comment. It is slightly larger in diameter than a soda can.

Thanks, Dan! What a great way to start off the Christmas season!

Oh, yeah! Thomas "Fats" Waller was a major, major talent! Many thanks for posting this, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

It’s time to Swing into the holiday season!

Here's the google translation ...

A while ago I got a Victor D with an incorrect Victor E motor Mounted in it. Now I am looking everywhere for one. Thanks, Josh

That´s really interesting! It´s the same machine, the relieve on the sides is identical and the box, the wood... so it´s probably a russian HMV then! I can´t read russian so I don´t know what the seller says about it! In all probability it left the factory exactly like this! Thanks for the link! Here are a couple of pictures of the russian gramophone for posterity!

I have a Victor III project that could use a couple of corner columns. They look to be the three piece style and are 3 7/8" long. I need two but will consider buying a set of four if need be. Thanks, Ken Brekke

Here's another to look at. It has dealer plate from St. Petersburg. This seller does not know what is either. https://www.dvaveka.ru/patefony-i-grammofony/starinnyy-grammofon-s-dekorativnymi-nakladkami-pishushchiy-amur-derevo-rossiya-nach-20-v/ James.

It certainly looks like a (German?) HMV, with the recording angel, but those sculpted sides in metal... ? Could it have left the factory like this?

Since it's as original as it appears to be, I'd leave the original feet - carefully pry the low foot and slip in a thin washer to level things up. Put a cloth under the machine so it doesn't slip when winding. Didn't realize this post was so old - still trying to figure out why it came up?
