Would like more info on my exhibition concert reproducer

[Victor guy1]

There is no info on it in the web, so I came here. It says "new York, London, saratow" on the front. it came off of my HMV baby monarch

My guess is that it is one of many Victor/HMV Exhibition "knock off" reproducers that were sold back then. You'll also see ones marked "Exportation", for example.

Thank you for the info!

Where is Saratow? The reproducer says Made In USA.

Interesting to see a clone that is made in the USA. Examples I have seen are European or mainly Swiss/German made. This is very similar to a Victor Exhibition but has a pot metal bezel.

Would this not have infringed Victor patents in the USA? But I guess so did Peerless talking machines with their groove guided tonearms.

I have trouble believing that neither company made this,
It is the exact same as a regular exhibition with a little bit of a difference?
