This is a very nice and very well-made gramophone from about 1911. The Victor Model IV. The “Victor Talking Machine Company” in the US was the dominant producer of gramophones and was the first organisation to adopt the “Nipper” logo, later made even more famous with HMV. The logo can be seen on this gramophone. Hornless gramophones were mis-named as there was a horn but suspended inside the case rather than outside, and this made for a smaller and neater design. Two small doors at the front could be used to control the volume produced. The gramophone plays very well using an “Exhibition” sound-box.
