Please help me determining if my gramophone is real or fake

[NiklasChristensen]

Hi everybody,

I have bought this gramophone used here in Denmark where I live.
When I bought it I was convinced that it was a legit machine from the 1920s.

But now I've started doubting my own knowledge, and I need some experts like you guys to help me. Because I can't find out all by myself.
The only hint of information on the machine is the inscription on the sound box: Dulcetto Sound Box - Made in England.

I have some pictures of it here, and I would like your help to:

Know if it is actually from the 1920s?
Is it a well known label?
Are some parts of it real?

Is has a swiss made machine inside and still runs well.

Thank you so much!

Blessings,
Niklas Christensen

Your machine appears basically genuine, but possibly with some non-original components. The fact that it has a Dulcetto soundbox does not necessarily mean that the entire machine is by Dulcetto, as soundboxes were frequently swapped or updated.
Dulcetto was a British brand name originally used by the Phono Exchange of London and later by the British Polyphon Company.

The horn is a well known pattern used by several manufacturers and appears to have it's original paint finish, but the elbow may be a modern replacement. Many manufacturers used bought in Swiss made motors, often by Paillard and Thorens. There may be a trade mark on the bottom plate which will identify it.

The crank might be a replacement, it appears to be too long.
