For Sale: Early Victor 6 - Paper Mache horn $5600 - Union

[Valecnik]

This is the way you like to find them. An early Vic 06 with rubberized horn in really excellent condition. The pics speak for themselves. I won't ship but will deliver to Union free of charge.

This machine is also pictured on page 160 of "The Talking Machine Compendium" 2nd Edition, George Paul and Tim Fabrizio's excellent book.

Outstanding machine! It's so much more unusual with the rubberized horn. Jerry Blais

Bump still available for delivery to Union. Price is firm though on this one.

Not to nit pick on words. However, there is nothing rubberized about this paper mache lacquered horn. Therefore, no rubber trees were hurt during the making of this horn... .

You are right but somewhere I have an advert for the Vic 6 describing the horn as "having the appearance of polished rubber". Also in the 2005 edition of Baumbach's Look for the Dog, page 65, he quotes a description of the horn as "having the appearance of polished, hard rubber."

I'm relieved that no rubber trees were harmed, probably just a lacquer tree or two.

Spectacular Machine! I envy those going to Union to see it in person and to the lucky person who eventually takes it home.

NICE, Definitely worth the asking price from what I see!
