You have an HMV Intermediate Monarch circa 1910. It has a single spring motor similar to a Victor I. These machines don't go as high as an American Victor. I'm guessing $7-8 hundred.

Wish I could get one out here for $700-$800. I might get one for $1200, so I guess a lot depends on where you live.
Non American machines may not be worth much in America, but they usually are everywhere else.

Not up too much on the UK models. The machine seems like a lesser model (plain). However, the horn having the wood grained finish would seem a optional horn. Is this assumption correct on my part???. A very nice package on the whole. As for price.....whatever makes you feel good... ;).
