Yes, the Victor Eleventy-First Type talking machine is incredibly rare. Most times it can only be found in the wilds of Nebraska feeding near Catalpa trees.

Gee, the photos don't look a thing like this one: http://www.victor-victrola.com/111.htm

Judging by the crank, lack of bullet brake and later back bracket, I would say that this is a very late Victor III. The tag says V-111. I have also seen Vic 3 and of course Vic III. The tag does not say VV or VE, so I think that it is legitimate. I don't know what the tag on the advertised machine says, but it could be 111.

Someone at the factory was obviously translating Greek into Arabic...
