Mystery 1930's? Portable Electric Phonograph, Looks Nice, Powers Up & Spins!

Description

I found this years ago at an estate sale here in Maine and have never known what to make of it other than that it looks really pretty and it actually powers up and spins. It’s a portable electric phonograph, measuring 14.5” x 11.75” x 6”, and based on some of its design features, and that beautiful art deco reproducer, I would guess it dates to the 1930’s, and was probably made in America. I have never been able to find any markings on it anywhere, and thus have not tried to restore it; I had hoped to one day, but now I’m running out of space, so it’s time to pass it along to another collector who will finish the job and enjoy it for years to come. Portable electric phonographs from this era are quite uncommon in my experience, so if you’ve been looking for one of these and feared you’d never find one, this is your lucky day.
Best of all, I offer the lot here with NO RESERVE -- high bidder takes it!
I will ship this item ONLY within the United States. If you live elsewhere and are interested in it, please contact me BEFORE bidding so we can discuss the shipping charges, which can be very expensive outside the U.S. I ship once a week (whenever possible). Having received, over the years, some items that did not survive shipping, I always take care to pack very carefully. If you prefer, I will be happy to drop it off at a nearby UPS store and have it professionally packed and shipped at your expense. I reserve the right to raise or lower the shipping charges should they prove to be significantly different than those determined by the shipping calculator. I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone with excessive negative feedback or an otherwise suspicious history. Payment is due within three (3) days of the auction's close. Due to its age I am selling this item without any warranty. All sales are final. I am not a dealer, and don’t have a big operation with a staff, so I would appreciate your patience while I take the time to pack your items with the care they deserve.
Be sure to see all the pictures! I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, but please try to ask as early as possible, as it sometimes takes me a while to get to my email. Please see my other listings, as I am running out of space and am thinning out my collection considerably. I have several fine items up on Ebay right now, and will be listing many more in the weeks and months to come, so please keep checking. Good luck and happy bidding!
