SOLD!!! - FOR SALE: VICTOR JR - "RED PETAL HORN" - RARE!!!

Post by vic-b »

Circumstances prevent me from being the future caretaker of this RARE Victor Junior with immaculate RED PETAL HORN!!!

This machine has a great story behind it! I courted this machine, along with about five others that were in a RCA Victor dealership in Monticello, Iowa. I used to stop regularly to speak with the owner on my way back and forth from Green Bay to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After about 18-20 years, I received a phone call from the owner's son, saying he had found a letter that I had written years ago in his father's desk. His father had passed away, and he was trying to get things in order. He asked if I was still interested in the phonographs!!! I drove to Iowa the very same day!!!

Victor Juniors with red petaled horns are very hard to come by. What makes this machine special is the fact that this horn is almost factory fresh!!! There are two small defects on two of the inside petals. (I have close up photographs of the scuffs if you need them.)

Everything on this machine is original. There are no reproductions. The decal is about 90%. The finish is also about 90%.

I am asking $3995, because you will NEVER FIND A BETTER HORN!!!

You are encouraged to come to Green Bay and shop in person. I can bring the machine to Union, June of 2017. I will ship the machine if that is the owner's desire. The buyer will pay the actual cost of shipping and insurance.

I have 41 photographs that I can zip file to anyone who is interested. Please PM with questions, or just say "SOLD!!!"

Thanks,
Jeff
