As a sales ad, this should be in the Yankee Trader or eBay alert section. :geek:

You need to place a link on your post to the eBay listing...

The black cloth covered HMV100 sold approximately 6800 units in the UK, and a teak cased version was made for the Indian market.

Although I have never seen any mention of an oak cased version in reference books or in period advertisements, it appears that this is what we may have here. More information is needed.
