Schoolhouse Victrola

Post by danielg »

Hi Community,
I bought a Schoolhouse Victrola last month, and I have 2 interrogations.

Why nothing is written as Pattent 1905 as On my Victors III and V?

What is supposed to be the small anchor? I never see it on other Shoolhouse machines.

Thank you for your help :-)

The crank escutcheon on your machine was replaced with an anchor for a Jones Motrola. The Motrola was a device which electrically re-wound the machine's mainsprings.
