Ummmm....I can't quite put my finger on it, but I believe something else is missing.

Maybe, but I'm still trying to extract ANY meeting from "Brass Horn NY Paris Antique Music Jazz Bar Display VTG"

In the context of a "Jazz Bar," does VTG = Vodka Tequila Gin?

VTG is an abbreviation for "vintage". I noticed that eBay is programmed to know that vtg=vintage.

It is missing the carriage assembly. It holds the horn and floating reproducer on this machine. It is a Columbia AT.
