Mystery Victrola(?) key

Post by VV-Montreal »

This first-time user wonders if anyone can identify the key in the photograph. It came with a Victrola VV-X bought at the recent Wayne show in New Jersey, but I wonder if it's original, even though it fits the lock.
Thanks in advance!

It's certainly not an original Victor key. The locks on Victrolas were pretty generic and would open with many simple skeleton keys, like yours.

Here's a guide to various phonograph keys:

Thanks, 52089. I had seen that OldCrank page but wondered if it was complete.
Anyone who can identify the mystery key will put my curiosity to rest.
