Okay, but how many of the doubters will even see that if it's confined to a CLPGS magazine? Not many, I'm thinking.epigramophone wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 3:00 amSurely you are not still casting doubts as to the authenticity of my Deccalian, despite being the underbidder at it's sale.Steve wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 6:57 pm A Deccalian "Chippendale" style Boudoir gramophone made by Barnett Samuel (Decca) in 1922. Yes, they are far more elegant than the same machine shoe-horned into a wine cellerette with infill side panels and due to this model actually being catalogued we know it is genuine.
All you doubters are in for a big surprise when the results of my research are published in the next CLPGS magazine.

I suspect that most UK forum members who are not CLPGS members will know someone who is.

Re: Interesting - but what is it ?
A question to those of you who actually own one of these. Is this in two pieces, gramophone and stand or can it be separated?

Re: Interesting - but what is it ?
What is the sound quality like I wonder ? Better than an HMV 105 maybe ?
I am still uncertain as to what these actually are. Are they like limited edition exhibition pieces made by Decca ?
Thanks for any help you can give.

The Deccalian range of period models was introduced in 1921. They were made by or for the musical instrument makers Barnett Samuel & Sons Ltd. At this time Decca was just the brand name of the portable which they had introduced in 1914.
