AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very beautiful pocket gramophone, Colibri, from around 1930, manufactured in Belgium with some parts produced in Switzerland.

When closed it is only a small suitcase, but when opened and the various parts are assembled, a real gramophone is created capable of playing 78 rpm records of any diameter.

The overall condition is fairly good, but it shows several signs of wear and aging. Some pieces of the casing are missing and the small carrying handle.

The spring winds up and the motor turns; the gramophone is still able to play records, but being an antique device it is auctioned as a collectible display item, with no warranty.

The numerous photographs are an integral part of the description..

NB: the records are not included in the sale.

The gramophone will be properly packed and shipped with insurance.

Dimensions 9x9x13
