FOR SALE: The Talking Machine Company Catalog - $9

Post by Jerry B. »

I am offering an accurate reprint of The Talking Machine Company catalog. The catalog features "The Cabinet That Matches" and Victor Talking Machines records and supplies. The catalog is 26 pages of great phono information. It features "The Cabinet That Matches" which were cabinets specifically made for each Victor model from 1 through VI. There is a page dedicated to the Victor Junior with flower horn and "The New Victor 0". Victrolas were in there infancy and one page features the Victrola XVI and the extremely rare Victrola XX. On another full page the Victor Auxetophone is featured. Another full page is dedicated to the various Victor horns. For example, did you know that Victor "Flower" horns had a number which corresponded to the bell diameter. The Victor Black-Japanned Steel Horns (black & brass to modern phono nerds) were differentiated by a letter. On still another full page needles are featured. Did you know that "Musical" or "Petmecky" needles could be ordered. This catalog is full of interesting photos and information.

The total cost of the catalog, including US postage, is only $9. Your check or paypal is fine.

Members, this is one of the best pieces you can buy as a reference source for the Victor line. I have two, one to thumb through and one to preserve for when the first one is worn out! Great catalog get one while they last, you can learn alot! Two thumbs up! John

Mine came today, a welcome reward after a morning spent in the dentist's chair. Very pleased! Well worth the price and a great resource that I wished I'd had 30 or 40 years sooner. Many thanks to you, Jerry.

I've been mailing these catalogs like crazy but I still have a few. I've sent them to Lang, Rondeau, Palmatier, Schaub, Kosovic, Crandell, Ford, Jorgensen, and Johnson. If you've asked for one and you don't see your name on that list please send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll get it on the way.

Thanks, Jerry Blais
