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 "phonovale"? Actually, this "phonograph suitcase" stands out for its exclusive crocodile-textured ochre laminate, making it an object of furniture with incredible visual impact.

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 acoustic tonearm in excellent cosmetic condition.

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

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

Technical Details:
• Model: Portable suitcase gramophone (Pathé/Columbia style).
• Materials: Veneered wood, chromed metal, crank with wooden knob.
• Condition: Excellent cosmetic conservation (as shown in the photos).

Weight

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

Typical dimensions of a portable phonograph suitcase 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 house 10-inch records inside the lid and ensure maximum portability.
