Motor looks like an HMV single spring motor used in portables. Reproducer looks like an HMV #4. If it is, it should say on the back.

Did these parts come off the same machine? The motor looks similar to the motor off a Victrolita (aka 1-1). The "groove" towards the outer edge of the turntable platter is consistent with the platter this machine would use as well. However, the other parts do not look as if they were from a 1-1.

If its an HMV 4 its probably worth more than $20 right? That's what he is asking for the parts. I don't have any immediate use for them but it would be cool to grab them
just in case if the price is right. Thanks AZ

The seller has limited info on where exactly they came from, although he did
say they were from a "Victrola No 1"

Yes, it does look like it is a good value assuming you have a use for these, or plan to resell them.

They look like they're all from a late HMV 101 to me.
