French “Gypsy” Miniature Gramophone

French “Gypsy” Miniature Gramophone

Categories: Items of interest

Here is a real rarity, the French made “Gypsy” gramophone, almost certainly the smallest gramophone made in that country. It is in a solid leather case measuring only 16 x 8 x 7 cm, and with a folding fabric horn, very like the slightly larger “Mignonphone”, which also claims to be French made, but may well have been made for the US market with Swiss components.
