1916 Victrola VIII Time Capsule

[u/Gimme-A-kooky]

Who doesn’t LOVE treasure?

I know I do!

Picked this 1915/16 VV-VIII- • 67904 F up for $100- $ is immaterial, help to friend = extremely material!

TREASURE INSIDE!

1. A really old skeleton key lodged in between the horn and body

2. {Ma Favorite!!} a “Dickens American Pencil Co. New York, USA, 1040, aka ‘PENNY PENCIL’ from back when Jesus was a corporal! (Old man army humor). (This HAS to be an over-exaggeration of its ‘rarity’, no price listed of course, but it’s the wording, unless I’m wrong)

3. A button

I’ll get on it soon! Have a great one otherwise, and thank you for stopping by!

______________________________________________________

I’m helping a friend of a friend who needs a little extra $$ but happens to have some old, unmaintained machines (possibly others? Dunno… either way, happy to help!). My spousal unit, Mrs. Kooky, is very understanding.

Since I have it, I’ll fix it up and maybe sell it to a kid who wants something like this - but rebuilt like new- for like a buck fiddy (or possibly might donate to the APS for their annual giveaway to younger people getting into the hobby.

you are indeed lucky, my 1914 didn't have much more than dust.
