This looks very interesting maybe - a rare 'barn find' perhaps ?
Is it an HMV Model 7 ?

I don't have my His Master's Voice book in front of me. I think it's an HMV No. 7. That was the replacement of the Monarch Senior.

I am guessing that the current £ 700 bid does not include:
Additional Fees:
Commissions*: 28.20% inc.VAT/sales tax
*Includes buyer's premium and online commission. For more information please read the auctioneer's T&Cs.
Which would increase the buyers price by about another £ 200 ?
It must be one original, rare machine.

Sold for £1,000.
I wonder what made it so valuable ?
I hope someone bought it who is on this forum.

Re: Distressed HMV Gramophone + Wooden Horn
I suggest you do your own research but as someone has already said it is a No. 7, the replacement Senior Monarch and top of the standard domestic horn model range in this period. The original wooden horn adds 1000 GBP to the value. In pristine condition it's a 2000 GBP machine all day long.poodling around wrote:Sold for £1,000.

The more appropriate question to ask is why did it make so little? The condition was quite rough but these don't turn up every day.

I will have a look at the internet to learn a little about this model.
Thank you very much Steve.
