It would be terrific to find one of these. Wonder what size the grooves were on the records?

By the way, I notice Queen Mary had the good taste to supply her doll's house with a Victor (i.e. disc playing) machine.

No Victor here....This is a machine of quality :o :lol:

The gramophone was a replica of the HMV Cabinet Grand Model 200 at an exact scale of one twelth measuring 4" high. I think by 1924, a cylinder machine would have been very old fashioned, although a miniture Opera or an A1 certainly would have cute.
Being a Peter Dawson fan, the dolls house disc has been on my want list for quite some time, but I only know of one copy being offered for sale in the last 3 years.
The next ones mine though 8-)
