The phonograph/gramophone, is unquestionably a fake. They are made using cheap parts from portable machines that were produced up until the 1950s. My guess is that that guy was made in India (looks better than the really bad Chinese produced copies).

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $2 for the record. Most records are only worth a dollar or two.

I wouldn't pay more than about a dime for the record, if I wanted it in the first place. :D

It's toast, crostone. Or, in other words, in very bad condition.

I always get a kick out of the "HMV" logo. Hand painted by the finest artisans. :lol:
