Not sure what information you need, but hope this helps? The code on the ivorine plaque tells us that "B" is the class of goods, and the 14 means that this machine was made in 1950. (add the 14 on to 1936, which is when the numbering system began.) Considered by some enthusiasts to be the finest portable gramophone ever made, yours is in good condition, only the wooden grip on the winding handle is missing. This version of the 102 was the last, and was on sale until around 1961.

Thank you for that. I do have the wooden grip. Fitted a clip to it today to keep it in place
