Description from the seller

VINTAGE

Relive the authentic Jazz Age atmosphere 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 "phonograph case" stands out for its exclusive crocodile-textured ochre covering, making it a visually stunning 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 Mechanics: Equipped with a side crank and an era-appropriate tonearm in excellent aesthetic condition.

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

• Versatility: Ideal as an Interior Design element, for upscale store windows, or to enrich a private collection.

Technical Details:
• Model: Portable suitcase gramophone (Pathé/Columbia style).
• Materials: Wood veneer, chrome metal, wooden knob crank.
• Condition: Excellent aesthetic preservation (as in the photos).

Weight

Don’t miss the chance to own a object that not only reproduces music but stops time.

The typical dimensions of a portable phonograph case 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 hold 10-inch records (25 cm) under the lid and ensure maximum portability.
