Here is a beautiful Victrola cabinet, presumably mahogony. The exterior has some superficial blemishes; the interior is nearly immaculate -- there are no clear signs that this cabinet was ever used. There is no damage at all to the interior shelves and surfaces. The four doors all close neatly, and the latch on the lid is similarly in perfect condition. The decal on the lid is pristine.
This lot does NOT include the phonograph mechanism -- you are bidding on the cabinet only. There is no evidence I can find that a phonograph was *ever* installed in this cabinet...so you will be the first!
Serial number is VV-XIV 145848 on the metal plate; the original price/patent label is intact and shows the original price of $165! It is dated October 8, 1917.
Dimensions are approx. 20" x 22" x 42".
Local pickup is preferred; shipping via freight will be costly, and I will charge for a professional shipping service to protect this delicate antique item.
I don't know what's funnier...the opening $1k bid, the "superficial blemishes comment" (if you consider having it's legs hacked off, and scratched the hell up "superficial") or the "no evidence a phonographs was ever installed" b.s.
What crack are people smoking down in North Carolina?
