A suitcase-style gramophone from the early 1930s—its brand and manufacturer now lost in the mists of history. Despite its mysterious origins, the device remains fully intact and in relatively good condition. Its construction is based on the tried-and-true Model 102 by HMV, a highly popular design where the entire acoustic system, including the horn, is housed within the unit itself. This clever feature eliminated the need for electricity, making it a favored choice for outdoor use and travel.
The wooden case is wrapped in leatherette, sporting an unusual shade of blue—a striking departure from the classic black, with red as another favored alternative of the era.
