Nickname for this phonograph

[Gefloigel]

Hey all 

New here so I dunno whether this has been covered but... 

 

Is there a name for this modified Victor 1 with pressed wood sides? 

 

 

[CurtA]

It looks like a "Pre-Dog treat" machine...

[Jerry]

The top molding looks odd. Is that what's been modified?

[Gefloigel]

The machine is featured in "A world of antique phonographs" by Fabrizio and Paul. Page 93.

But it calls it a dressed up vic 1 from Germany. 

 

 

 

 

I was just hoping for a name better than "that little German Victor 1 with the acanthus designs pressed into the sides and the ivorette tag with the recording angel from page 93...etc" to research it more.

The milk bone dog biscuits are not original to the phonograph.

"Victor" machines were produced in various countries - England, France, Germany, etc. with variations in designs.  Is this machine yours, or are you just wondering about it?  The description in the book pretty well describes it.  It's a D.G.A.G. (Deutsche Grammophon} Victor I variation.  Personally, I like it better than the US version, which its rather plain...
