Apollo was the gramophone brand name of Messrs Craies and Stavridi of London. Walnut was rarely used on British machines, and this striking Art Deco example is a cut above Apollo's usual offerings. It probably incorporates their "Deep Tone Resonator", a saxophone shaped horn which anticipated HMV's version by several years.

A very handsome gramophone and the price seems to be very reasonable. I agree with Brandon that it would be a wonderful machine to own.
