Victrola GRNADA-C-7086 - CL Vancouver

Post by Lah Ca »

A Canadian-made Victrola Granada - an interesting machine to look at - not mine and no association with the seller.

Claimed to be 1905 to 1908 vintage.

Looks nice enough from what I can actually see in the unfortunate pictures.

No idea about value/price - not enough experience on my part to say anything here..

That looks to have had some cabinet refinishing along the way. Not sure how much the Canadian models are selling for today, so I won't comment on the price. For US models, it's about twice the normal selling price I've seen recently.

As for the date, the seller probably spotted some reference to patent dates on the mfg.'s plate, and that's where he came up with "1905 to 1908 vintage." Oftentimes, a paper label is affixed to the bottom of the cabinet which provides the actual production details. The Granada was introduced in November of 1925 -- SEE: http://www.victor-victrola.com/4-4.htm
