Was this an advertisement or just a short story with photo?
As far as I know, the world's smallest working talking machine was the one made
for Queen Mary's Doll House in the 1920s. It was made by HMV at Hayes. The
machine being a replica of one of their large upright machines, similar to a
Victrola XVIII. It also had an album of miniature records, also working.. One
was sold to the public, ("God Save The King") at the British Empire Exhibition
at the HMV Display.

Subject: [Phono-L] Does This "Phonograph" Actually Exist?
I hope this attachment makes it through, if not, I will upload it to my website
for viewing. It is an ad for the world's smallest phonograph from 1936 and
looks like a watch case with a horn... Is this a fantasy item that never came
to fruition, or has someone seen this in person? I want one to go with my iPod
touch :)
