This listing is for an Antique Oak Victor Talking Machine Phonograph. It is serial number 55054 which dates it to around 1914. Model VV-VIII was made for 13 years beginning in 1911- 1924. This phonograph is in  original condition. Previous owner applied clear overcoat of finish to inside top of lid and inside back of doors. Still looks good just a little shinier than the rest  The rest of phonograph still has original finish including inside deck. Top has some wear to finish with a small few dark spots in an area. No damage to veneer on top. Some scratches on side where wind up handle is, along with 2 drips to lid on that side (possibly from drips coming out inside lid of overcoat). Inside deck is clean. Turntable felt still looks good with only a couple yellow spots. Phonograph runs and seems to run smoothly except sometimes when fully wound up every 30
seconds
or so it makes a light thump sound. I was told that this is one of the springs slipping (but don't know for sure); Selling in As-Is running condition. Plaque on inside back of lid reads: Cushman Music Shop, Hartford, CT, Possibly the original seller. Comes with old Victor paper package with dogs image and has some needles in it. Still has its original License Notice paper label on bottom (see pictures). Expedition reproducer is in nice condition with gasket not being dried out. Looks like a good one to restore.
