What an exciting discovery. A mahogany Victor V is so unusual and I've never seen a nickel Victor Flower horn. Great outfit! Jerry Blais

. I brought mine back on the plane with me . In fact, I had five wooden crates with me on that trip (the hot-air machine was in one). Not too sure how my Wife talked them into it.....but she did.. 
. I would be far too nervous to let others handle such a big and heavy machine. I hope you removed the motor off the board..??.Please post better pcs when you get it home. Here is a pic of the motor in mine. I assume yours is the same...??. Please check your PM.

Well, in that case....you are very dedicated and I retract my comment....mariof wrote:Actually by chance one of my good friends was in Sydney with his family and after a post on Facebook responded to say that he could drive it down to Melbourne for

. I'm sure many of us would love to hear what you discover about the nickel plated brass horn. What a horn. Is there any chance it's HMV..?.Is your motor the same as I posted..?.
Here is a scan (curiosity of George P.) of your model in a 1917 Victor gate fold flyer.
