I'd like to find an original record hold down with nickel finish for a Victor. Please let me know what you have.

Thanks, Jerry Blais

Too bad, you just missed one with weak nickel. Still, it sold very strongly... .

It could be far worse however. This next one (early type) that just sold is a 'reproduction' (seller was informed) and still sold for stupid money. A case of buyer beware.. .

I'm pretty sure that's a hold-down with an oxide finish, not one with weak nickel. Probably came from a "P"

Possibly an oxidized finish record nut. Oxidized record nuts were also used on Johnson Type A's.
