I see these occasionally and think that they look really nice.
Does anyone know the history behind these (solid ?) brass soundboxes ?

This should fool no-one. It appears to be nothing more than a brass backed No.4 soundbox which has been stripped down to the bare metal and put into a non-original box, possibly for a Gilbert Tone Reflector soundbox, on to which an HMV logo has been crudely stuck.
