Victor V

The picture most people have of an antique gramophone: a square wooden case with a big flower horn swinging over the turntable. The Kanazawa Phonograph Museum in Japan dates this Victor V to 1903, two years after Eldridge Johnson formed the Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden, New Jersey. Victor also carried the Nipper and His Master's Voice trademark in America, so this is the American cousin of the British machines in this gallery.
