Santa Claus Time 1921

Post by OrthoSean »

Here's a neat image from Shorpy of a Christmas window display from a Vocalion dealer and also a player piano seller. I spotted a Pathé in here as well and what could be a radio horn if you look carefully, or is it a machine horn?

It looks like an electric fan to me! Not needed at this time of year, of course!

Ahum, it would be needed here in New Zealand - its summer and quite sticky at the moment. A fan would be very welcome indeed! :)
