His Master's Voice Gramophone of the 1920's. With Automatic Brake and Excellent Sound.

Great wooden gramophone made by His Masters Voice in the 1920s. It is Model 109 and has an automatic stop system just under the plate. This involves that the records stop spinning when the reproduction is over, just as modern record players do. It is an original His Masters Voice gramophone; this curious name, as well as the famous logo of a dog listening to a record, was adopted in 1.889 by the Gramophone and Typewriter Company after purchasing the picture of the same title painted by F. Barraud. The gramophone is located into a box made of solid oak wood, that shows a nice deep golden color and is also in great condition. At the front we can see two small doors which hide a gap with two shelves in which the records can be put away. The crank on the right side is also well preserved, and the wooden handle keeps the shiny original lacquer. If we lift the elegant cover we will be able to see the plate and the reproducer. This is also an original component, Nº 4 by His Masters Voice. There is an inscription in white lettering on a black background which says: His Masters Voice Nº 4 The Gramophone Company Ltd. Hayes, Middlesex, England. This exquisite gramophones motor is very silent and guarantees an excellent quality of reproduction as well as a faultless sound. The winding mechanism is capable of playing a whole record and even lasts more. Inside the cover we can also see a colored label with the brands name and logo, and also an inscription: Patents Applied For. Overall, the beauty of this gramophone, its ancient age, its good condition and the great sound quality it provides are reason enough to be considered a first-class piece, the ideal acquisition for any lover of vintage gramophones. Measurements: 380 mm width x 600 mm height (open).
