Original Columbia Graphophone Company portable gramophone, Model 201, manufactured in England in the early 1930s (circa 1930–1934), presented in a classic black textured suitcase case – a fine example of early portable mechanical sound technology. Spring-driven motor operated by side crank. Chrome-plated tonearm and soundbox, smooth-running turntable, and original Columbia-branded interior panel. All controls operate correctly and the mechanism is in full working order. The case retains its original metal fittings, latches, and carry handle. Honest age-related wear and light patina to metal parts, consistent with careful use. Clean and well-preserved interior. The lot includes five shellac records and spare steel needles stored in the integrated needle cup compartment. An attractive and fully displayable collector’s piece that is also ready to play – ideal for enthusiasts of vintage gramophones and early recorded sound.
