Description from the seller

VINTAGE

Relive the authentic atmosphere of the Jazz Age with a unique collectible piece.
I am selling a splendid vintage portable gramophone, a true masterpiece of mechanical engineering and style. It isn’t the usual black model: this "phonovault" stands out for its exclusive crocodile-textured ochre finish, making it a striking decorative object.

Why choose it:
• Iconic Design: The studded/crocodile finish is an absolute rarity, typical of the most luxurious editions produced between 1920 and 1930.

• Original Mechanism: Equipped with a side crank and an antique tonearm in excellent aesthetic condition.

• Piece of History: Perfect for those seeking an authentic item that tells a story, far from modern plastic imitations.

• Versatility: Ideal as an Interior Design element, for display windows of classy shops, or to enrich a private collection.

Technical Details:
• Model: Portable travel gramophone in a briefcase style (Pathé/Columbia style).
• Materials: Wood veneer, chrome-plated metal, wooden knob on the crank.
• Condition: Excellent aesthetic preservation (as per photo).

Typical dimensions of a portable phonovault from the 1920s, like the one shown in the image (characterized by the compact briefcase design), are as follows:
Width: 28 – 32 cm
Depth: 38 – 42 cm
Height (closed): 15 – 18 cm
These measurements correspond to the standard of the era’s most common models (such as the Pathé or Columbia 102 series), designed to comfortably accommodate 10-inch (25 cm) records inside the lid and ensure maximum portability.
