What gramophone 'treasures' have I bought now?!

[@tiga4180]

Congrats on finding the HMV (faux HMV) ceramic. Quirky charm or 'love to hate uncollectable' whatever, I'd have bought it! Agree with you that labels are as interesting as records, but Dan Leno is VERY collectable, though personally hate his unfunny & corny pantomime style! Would love to own placemats/coasters, especially as they're boxed & in great condition. 'Bell Disc' needle tin is an excellent & rare find. Wonder if the points are used, as is often the case. A hand lens would soon show up any wear.

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 😀 👍. I had no idea the Dan Leno was so collectable. Seems like that record was released in 1915, but the recordings made in 1903! Glad you liked the other stuff too. Some days I get luckier than others. I haven't checked the points on the Bell Disc needles, but wouldn't be surprised if they were unused. 😀

@@mrrgstuff Have seen G&T's of Dan Leno at £50-£100 at record fairs, but not sure of prices for late pressings. He was a music hall star, mainly before records were invented. He struggled with recording, saying: "I can't be funny into a funnel" He became mentally ill & died not long after his recordings were made. Believe there's a Wikipedia article on him.

I'd guess the 'Nipper' weight would be a 'tribute' piece, just based on the HMV design. I'd assume this due to the fact the HMV legend is without the apostrophe and the 'Nipper-like' dog isn't the same as the 'official' one either. I'd assume if it was an officially licenced one then the apostrophe and the dog would have been more in line with the official logo/design. It is a nice item all the same! The HMV record is an interesting find - especially as it has the mention of it appearing in catalogue #2 and not the general catalogue. I've not seen this before, so it may be something more limited than a 'usual' HMV 12 inch record! The needle box is a great find too. Originally a box of 200 with some still in it! I'd assume there aren't many of those about with some remaining, like that! Just my thoughts on this one.

[@mrrgstuff]

Yes, the ornament I believe is based on a genuine one, with a bit of artistic license! The genuine ones I have seen pictures of also have quotes around the whole wording. The record I believe dates to 1915, though the recordings are from 1903! A bit of a surprise, that one. Tin I think must be uncommon. I haven't checked if the needles are used or not, though as they are loud or extra loud tone, I probably won't use them. Thanks 😀 👍

Not sure I could have forced myself to pay Twenty for the HMV but would have parted with a tenner.

[@mrrgstuff]

Fair enough 😀. They apparently come in different colours so I will keep my eye out for others. At a car boot sale I would certainly hope to get one for less than £20. Thanks 👍 😀

[@dwanereads]

Great junk!!! Never seem to find stuff like this on local car boots near me. Maybe the occasional record player but always thrashed. Antique shops can sometimes be over priced. Always look though. Great video. Keep ‘em coming.

[@mrrgstuff]

I think apart from the coasters, this lot came from various antique shops. I have found some more gramophone related stuff at car boot sales, not just records either. More videos to follow! 😅 Thanks 😀 👍

Like the Austrilian 78s and the children's games. I have a 78 of Musical Chairs part 1 and part 2. Nice needle tin as well. I don't have a tin myself. Nice price for it. Will you use the needles, or is it too risky as they might be used?

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 😀 👍. Musical chairs is not one I have, but I think there were probably a variety of musical games that featured on records. I probably won't use the needles in the tin, mainly because they look loud or extra loud tone by today's standards, and that's too loud for me! 😅

[@Ozro-Burnham-Briseno]

Seems to be a good find!

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 👍 😀

[@Tmilitaria]

Excellent stuff. 👍🏻 Regards, TM.

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 👍 😀

[@Kevin-yi8fd]

Hello again you always come back with some interesting items. I have one of the Hmv china dogs and Gramophone like you i don't know much about it i especially like the place mats and coasters with the Hmv trademark well done. 😊😊😊

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 👍 😀. I try not to buy online and am always suprised by what is still out in the wild! 😅. Does your ornament have the same colour scheme? From what I have seen online, they vary a bit. Thanks 😀

[@Kevin-yi8fd]

Hello mine is slightly different the dog has a light brown spots i brought mine about 10 years ago at a car boot sale a neighbour had one with black on his dog.Like you said on KZbin they are hideous but i wouldn't part with it.😊😊😊​@@mrrgstuff

[@mrrgstuff]

Indeed 😅. Thanks 😀 👍

[@davidpenny1297]

Looks like an HMV 157 on that lovely sleeve

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 😀👍. That's good to know.

[@paulwoodger]

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 👍 😀

[@goober890]

wow the first model i saw at the beginning its amazing!!

[@mrrgstuff]

It certainly has a bit of a look to it, but I don't think it is an official collectable. Looks good on display, though! 😅. Thanks 😀 👍

[@goober890]

oh well really nice and your welcome 👍

[@GeorgeTheGentleman]

No crapophone!? 😂

[@mrrgstuff]

Well, there *was* one I saw on that trip, but I didn't buy it. It was a bit different so I took some photos. Maybe I'll do a video 🤔😉😅

[@Music_diplomat]

Wow, you have so many interesting things 🙂

[@mrrgstuff]

Thanks 👍 😀. I spend a fair amount of time hunting at car boot sales and also in antique shops. Often I find nothing, but some days I get lucky! 😅

[@Music_diplomat]

I hope you will always be lucky 😄

[@mrrgstuff]
