The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This time an extremely rare external horn VV-IX from the great grandmother from early 1900s that's really hard to part with. But for only $995 you can call this jewel your own...

Some sellers may just be ignorant about what they're selling, but this heart wrenching story and the skillfully aged "thing" are meant to deceive.

I don't know, George may like this, he's a s...er, er I mean, he really like that fancy wood grain!!!

Steve- looking for a IX, but not the rare external horn variety

Did someone actually say "skillfully aged"? Is this some new usage of the term "skillfull" that I'm not familiar with?

Sorry, should have said "tried to look old". My point was that someone is knowingly trying to deceive here.

Well on the lighter side, it's nice to see one NOT made in china...the sad part is someone will probably bid on this before the end of auction.

He has withdrawn it. Probably read the favourable comments on this forum
