I've seen that several years ago. Don't know if was posted on another board or if I stumbled across it on an internet search but there are some nightmares you just never forget!

Ever seen a film called 'The Tree Monster'?

Bob,

I cannot say that I have, although searching IMDb for it returned the 1964 film ‘Darna at ang Babaing Tuod (Darna and the Tree Monster)’. Is this the movie you mean?

...and if so, does the Tree Monster have this phonograph? :D

My Cholla cactus-veneered Victrola (custom built for Tom Mix) can give that one a run for its money!

I am at a loss too- does the sound come out of the horn, or from the lyre on the front- or both!

Quite unique folk art piece
I sincerely doubt that this is "folk art". My gut feeling is that this was originally an expensive showpiece by a fashionable designer of some sort.

I must confess I like it!

Fredrik, I like it too! However, I would prefer the "bushy-tailed squirrel running up a tree" model.

No. It was one of those classic 1950's 'B' movies with some guy walking around in a rubber tree terrorizing people. If I remember correctly he was tied or staked to a tree and became a part of it.

I just did a google search on it and couldn't find a thing. I really hope I haven't imagined this! :?
