This is an authentic His Master's Voice (HMV) floor-standing gramophone, specifically a Model 157 cabinet from circa 1927–1930. This quintessential piece of British audio history features a dark-stained oak or mahogany cabinet with a "split" front design: the upper doors act as the internal horn’s volume control, while the lower compartment provides storage for 78rpm records. The internal mechanism includes the iconic "No. 4" soundbox and a hand-cranked motor, reflecting the peak of high-end acoustic playback technology before electric radiograms became the industry standard.
