This one, because it represents the average non-collector's idea of what a gramophone should look like :

I have to say it depends on if they are a collector or non collector.

A non collector seems drawn to any Victor or Columbia machine with a large outside horn.

Many collectors are drawn to my Victor Victrola XX

Most people like the Edison Fireside or the Victor III since they are horn phonographs.

Everyone likes the outside horn machines of course, but I am embarrassed to say that my lowly Bing Pygmyphone gets a lot more attention, because it is so cute.
