What an exciting discovery. A mahogany Victor V is so unusual and I've never seen a nickel Victor Flower horn. Great outfit! Jerry Blais

Mario, that is not very dedicated of you.... :lol: :lol:. I brought mine back on the plane with me . In fact, I had five wooden crates with me on that trip (the hot-air machine was in one). Not too sure how my Wife talked them into it.....but she did.. ;). I would be far too nervous to let others handle such a big and heavy machine. I hope you removed the motor off the board..??.

Please post better pcs when you get it home. Here is a pic of the motor in mine. I assume yours is the same...??. Please check your PM.

Well, in that case....you are very dedicated and I retract my comment.... :lol: :lol: ;). I'm sure many of us would love to hear what you discover about the nickel plated brass horn. What a horn. Is there any chance it's HMV..?.
Is your motor the same as I posted..?.

Here is a scan (curiosity of George P.) of your model in a 1917 Victor gate fold flyer.

Well I've had the machine serviced but have left the cosmetics exactly as I found them in the original condition. I've also placed the Victor V in Mahogany up on eBay feel free to take a look at some more pics :)
