I forgot to add another comment regarding Victrola decals and Vernis Martin Victrolas - In late August 2006 a Vernis Martin L-door was auctioned off by the North River Auction Gallery. Upon close inspection by me, I noticed the decal under the lid was a poor reproduction in many aspects, but the most blatent was the mis-spelling of "foreign". This decal had the word spelled "Foregin" I brought this to the attention of the auction house and they claimed it was a one-off factory mistake. Well, we all know better. Anyway the Vernis Martin did sell for $21,600 including buyers premium, and somewhere out there lurks an L-door Vernis Martin Victrola with questionable heritage.

And why? I wonder if it sat at the factory waiting to be fixed until it was out of style, and someone said "Mark it down and move it out" Eric Stott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loran T.
