Yes, this is the remains of a Circassian Walnut Victrola XVIII. I guess if someone needs a lid or other parts, it's worth the asking price. What a waste. At the height of prices I brought one back to Oregon for a friend and I think he paid nearly $20,000 for a Circassian Walnut XVIII. It had been used in an ocean liner back in the teens. Got to get another tissue...

That is a crying shame.

Very sad indeed!

That's really too bad. Fortunately it is all just stuff...
