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.

Very nice your Schwinn bikes. Do you just collect those or are they actually being used?

Merry Xmas
Andreas

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. :)
