The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

In doing some more early Spring cleaning I have uncovered more treasures that I had packed away many years ago. For your consideration, this is a very nice complete set of 13 original Victor Victrola VV-XIV record binders. I don't believe any have been written in and the internal record sleeves within each binder look to be in fine condition considering their age. As I recall, these binders were inside a super nice original VV-XIV Victrola that I traded to a friend many years ago and who did not want or need the binders.

All of these binders have the nice early nickel (color) Nipper Trademark on their covers.

You would search for a very long time to find a nicer condition, complete, original set of these binders. There is some expected normal wear on the spines and one 12" binder has some spotting on the cover and one 12" binder has its spine pull-loop missing but overall these are in outstanding original condition.

There are a total of 13 binders in the set:

9 of the 10" binders lettered A through I
4 of the 12" binders lettered J through M

If these are of interest to you send me a PM with an offer that you feel is fair to you and to me for the complete set. Basically, the first person I feel that has made an offer that is fair to both of us will be the buyer and I will mark the set as sold.

If the set does not sell here in a reasonable amount of time I will likely list them on Ebay.

Shipping cost would likely be best in two separate boxes (10" in one and 12" in the other). I will calculate for the shipping cost for the buyer based on your zip code.

Thanks,
Doug

Are these binders the same as the ones that go with the VV-XVI "c" suffix to be precise? If not do you or anyone here know the difference? Thanks

A type C VV-XVI would have L-shaped doors and would use 10 record boxes (6 10 inch and 4 12 inch), not binders.

Wouldn't the XVI albums have gold printing on the outside instead of silver?

Yes, they would.

Yes, they would.

As mentioned in my title and in my original post for this complete set of Victor Victrola binders, this set came directly out of a model VV-XIV Victrola for which the nickel (or silver) color Nipper trademark (as seen on these) have on the covers was original factory equipment.

I wanted to clarify this. Whether you would like to use these in your VV-XVI Victrola or other model Victrola that would accommodate them is your choice.

The binders for the L door would also be wider than these. Those look almost new.

I agree with Bill. These binders are in great condition and look new. You rarely find them this nice. If I had a XIV, I'd already be inquiring.
