At first glance, perhaps, but the close ups make it look like an oak C which was given several coats of mahogany colored "French Enamel Varnish" ninety-five years ago to allow it to better fit a room furnished in mahogany.
The mahogany Victor V machines are the late model, and would have a somewhat larger cabinet.

They made the C with a 12" turntable?

It's oak that's been goobered up with lots of dark shellac.

Tee Hee!
Good catch. Pardon my far fingers. Note that "C" and "V" are adjacent on the keyboard..

I knew you couldn't mix up a C and a V!
I agree it looks like an oak that's had a mahogany/clear coating applied to it

As an owner of a mahogany Vic 5, I can say the others are most correct. Badly covered oak Vic 5.
I can only think of three mahogany 5's out there. They are much larger then this middle production oak Vic 5.

Do they have the automatic brake? I had one in oak many years ago like that. Sure wish I would have kept that one.
