Just a reference to the period Victrola Ads. Maybe others can share their setup as well?

Very nice. Is that a recording artist in the framed piece behind and to the left of the Victrola? Jerry B.

It's been a while since there was a Victrola under the tree but do bikes count? Jerry

Thanks Jerry. No, this is an old copperplate print called "Le Puits Qui Parle" (The Well that Speaks). I think it may be even a few decades older than the Victrola.Jerry B. wrote:Very nice. Is that a recording artist in the framed piece behind and to the left of the Victrola? Jerry B.
Very nice your Schwinn bikes. Do you just collect those or are they actually being used?
Merry Xmas

Here is a Victor christmas leaflet from 1927 - unfortunately unfolded it is too big to fit on the scanner in one go!

Nope. As of right now, I only have my prewar Lionel train under the tree.

A Victrola is under my tree in the most literal sense.
