Victor Victrola
For sale here is a more than 100-year-old Victrola record player from the Victor Talking Machine Co. serial number VV-XIV 144921. The VV-XIV or "Victrola the Fourteenth" was a popular Victrola model priced in the 'upper-middle' range. Introduced in 1910, the XIV was positioned as a lower-priced alternative to the highly successful (but very expensive) VV-XVI series. This was at a time when a Victrola was considered to be a very prestigious item to own. The XIV was intended to appeal to the managerial or professional customer who wanted an 'above average' Victrola in their music room.
This Victrola has been in my family since new as it was purchased by my uncle's parents around 1917 in Des Moines, IA. I have owned it since the late 1990s and it still works. Around 100 78 RPM records will be included that will play on this machine. It is in excellent condition for the age as you can see from the pictures. The item is located in The Woodlands and due to its size and weight needs to be picked up at our location
This is a great piece of Amercian musical history and a great deal at $750. Just let me know if you are interested.
Thanks Kirk
