That brass Al Jolson plaque actually detracts from it's value, since it can't

Some of Jolson's funniest stuff, to my way of thinking, was when he hosted the

Harvey, for that starting price - $3,500 or buy it now - $5,000, you would have
to be a sucker to pay that for a portable Victrola. Without any real
documentation, the claim is invalid and even if it was Al Jolson's would you
pay that for a portable? How about Elvis' electric RCA portable or

put an Al Jolson tag on this machine and sell it as an Al Jolson Model
in the 1930s? If so, maybe there are more of them.
