1904 Victor Type D
with a No. 22 WO Quartered-Oak Horn
Restored: September 3, 2007
Sold: September 5, 2007
The 1904 Victor Type D was manufactured
by The Victor Talking Machine Co. from 1903 to 1907 was originally
priced from $55 to $60. The Type D was the first Victor designed
with a 12-inch turntable concurrent with the introduction of Victor's
new 12-inch diameter records. The cabinet of Type D Victors manufactured
from 1903 until late 1906 was similar in style, but larger than
that of the Monarch Special. Made of top-grade quartersawed oak,
the cabinet housed a three-spring motor. In October 1906, a new
plainer cabinet was introduced for the Type D. The new cabinet offered
simple, straight sides with plain corner columns, and most instruments
with this later cabinet style carried the designation "V"
rather than "D" on the ID plate. This rare version of
the Victor D comes with the earlier style case including a triple-spring
spiral-drive motor, an Exhibition Reproducer with a quick-release
lever, an unusual early Victor speed control, and the Victor No
22 WO Horn with a 22-inch Bell and made of Quartered Oak Crossbanded
Veneers. A detailed description and history of the Victor D are
available on page 23 of the "Look for the Dog" book. |
