I thought that this looked interesting.
There may be bits missing but I have never heard of this model before.

Re: HMV Library Bijou Grand
The cracked and broken model? Surely you're familiar with that?
You obviously don't possess a copy of "His Master's Gramophone"? Without looking it up (kind of impossible for me as my books are all packed away) I recall this is the Style No. 10. I have the No. 12 which is unique amongst the early models, as it has the earliest cast iron internal horn. The LBG (not TV!
) models usually have the box wooden horns as this example is showing.
