The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I bought a Triumph combo at auction and hiding inside was an undisclosed H (4-Min) Reproducer. I've heard this is a thing with combo machines, to have both a 2 and 4 minute with the machine if it didn't have a combo reproducer like Type O. But, how sweet was this surprise! Anyway, the reason for this post is that I just thought it was very cool the way they sewed this case. There is no tape or glue, other than the label, which overlaps 2 sides. Could this possibly been a factory job?? Anyway, hoping others may have seen this to settle my curiousity.

That's great that you received a bonus to your win!

I think the owner simply used a needle and thread to reinforce this box. This is also seen on Blue Amberol box lids from time to time. They did not have the same household supplies like we have today.

Nice find! Congratulations . The only thing I've ever found was dust.
