Here's a beautiful early Victor 6 (in 1906, the Roman numeral VI replaced the Arabic numeral 6 on the phonograph’s data plate), with an original Victor spear tip mahogany horn.

No re-plating, no refinishing, no issues. The original Victor “spear tip” horn is outstanding, with a few scattered minor marks and faint crazing in the finish consistent with age and authenticity. The Nipper decal is original.

The cabinet finish is original, and its patina is pitch perfect, with no irregularities. Like the horn, the cabinet finish exhibits light crazing consistent with age and authenticity. Cabinet itself is outstanding, with tight glue joints everywhere. Beautiful original gold-plating on the hardware and cornices, with an exquisite patina. Glossy original back-bracket enamel, and nearly perfect original gold back-bracket decorations. Horn elbow exhibits some plating wear, but it’s in excellent condition, with no dents or damage. The data plate on the front of the cabinet is clean and legible.

Original 3-spring motor is in excellent condition. Plenty of torque; no problems.

The original gold-plated Victor Exhibition reproducer sounds great. Loud and clear, with excellent dynamics.

The crank is a replacement, identical to the original, but the phonograph is otherwise factory-original and factory-correct throughout.

Overall, a beautiful survivor. You will be hard-pressed to find a better original example.

I'll also include a couple of early Victor records and a tin of needles so it will be ready to enjoy as soon as it arrives.

I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique phonographs. I've been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique phonograph from me, you'll receive a phonograph that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), and you'll receive a phonograph that includes thorough but easy-to-understand set-up and operating instructions, so you won't be left scratching your head, trying to figure out how it works.  Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how it works or how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
