Re: HMV 1925 catalogue
Thank you Soundgen. It is a real treat to be able to see these old catalogs, as HMV history is so mysterious to me, and I can't locate any resource guides. For instance, there are no horn machines in 1925, but in the 1928 catalog (which was also posted in the forum), the HMV 32 appears.

But not all the 1928 catalogues show the 32 , this one which I think is on the forum somewhere doesn't show it , another puzzle , not available in Australia

Re: HMV 1925 catalogue
This is the October 1925 catalogue, announcing the 'New' models for 1926 (i.e. with No 4 soundbox,etc.) That's why it doesn't show the old models, but there is a September 1925 Price list included, which includes several horn models. There some Lumieres and even the 100 portable, but it looks as if there are also some pages from a separate leaflet that do not form part of that catalogue. Could you elucidate, Mike?
