Description from the seller
Portable Excelda gramophone, produced by the well-known Swiss company Thorens (Thorens A.G.), between 1931 and about 1947. Defined as a "camera phone" for its appearance, it is recognized as one of the earliest precursors of portable audio devices. Despite its small size, it is able to play 78 rpm records of any diameter.
The overall condition is good, with several signs of age and imperfections in the original varnish. The leather handle has a small crack.
The spring winds up and the motor turns, the gramophone is still able to play records, but being an antique device it is put up for auction as a collectible and display item, without any warranty.
The numerous photographs are an integral part of the description..
NB: the records are not included in the sale.
The gramophone will be adequately packed and shipped with insurance.
