Great find in India
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2017 6:13 pm
I just returned from a two and half week vacation in India and could not wait to share the prize I came across while snooping around in a traditional market place in Dehli.
From the brass id plate I would say it is an HMV with a lovely large brass horn and plated upper works.
Matter of fact I am 100 % certain it is not a crapophone.
Ok before the fun starts this gramophone does not even qualify as a crapophone as it is only 9 inches tall and the only music it will ever produce is if I dropped it onto a piano.
At $ 12 I could not resist and now has a place on the shelf beside my Vic VI.
