This one looks authentic. That's an old motor and the horn does not look badly attached.

Well this is interesting... Every earmark of being a crap-o-phone except what looks like a Victor Exhibition reproducer. And a brass/copper (?) tag stating it's from Calcutta. And no Nipper logo. And it looks old. Is this an example of the crap-o-phone's true origin? And any guesses where its quality would rate on a scale of modern crap-o-phone to nice Victor VI or something? http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-HMV-Phonograph_W0QQitemZ190130320409QQihZ009QQ categoryZ1442QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
