Anyone have a nice scan or photo of the paper label that went under a Victor 4 mahogany case? It has all the restrictions, warnings, patents, etc, maybe even price. Thanking all in advance!

Would anyone be willing to take a good resolution photo of theirs for scanning purposes? Anyone? Thanks in advance!

Darren, I will try to send you one when I get home. Both my vic 4's have mint label's. Do you also need the Berliner Gram-O-Phone Co. label next to it?

That would be awesome! Thanks so much! I actually have the recording angel one and it’s almost perfect. My machine is Canadian sold actually. Very much appreciated sir!

Darren,
Not as easy as it looks. The one IV that is easiest to reach, the label has two corner losses. I placed the machine on my scanner and took two at 300 & 600.

Thank you so much! Your huge efforts are very much appreciated! I would have been happy with just a digital pic! I’ve done some wonders with damaged tune sheets on cylinder musical boxes with Microsoft’s Paint program. I may be able to digitally restore the missing bits. If I do I’ll share the end result here with everyone! Once again, thank you!

Darren,
As luck would have it, I had to do a little dusting for the holidays and was able to place my other Vic IV on the scanner. These are at 600 & 800.

I have been asked if I could post a pic of either machine. So, here they are. Can anyone make out a previous owners name scratched out on the bottom board...?? Both retain their original piano finish and one has remarkable grain on top. I hope you all enjoy the pics
