It looks to be a real crap-o-phone.

The old cabinet it is sitting on isn't worth much but it is worth more

Re: real or crapaphone ?
Another reason to avoid these fakes is that their tracking alignment is usually so bad that they will rapidly wear any records played on them. In this case the dead giveaways are the heavily decorated thin gauge horn and the HMV logo in a style which was not introduced until 1928.

Re: real or crapaphone ?
Sorry to hijack this post but I thought I would keep the theme going of what is real and what is not.
I spotted this Parlophone with a lid and inside horn.

Also, what would this machine be worth?
Thanks in advance and Happy Thanksgiving.
