Nice! It seems that you could ID the model and year with the info- I imagine it looks like the one on the label. MJ

Very neat find!

1913 Serial No. 75000-112000 B suffix until replaced by C suffix very late in year

The IV was Victor's lowest priced model for many years. Production was started in September of 1911. Full production was discontinued in early 1924; however VV-IV's were still being assembled and shipped in low volumes as late as the spring of 1926. Catalogs state that the only available finish was oak, however a few rare examples have turned-up with a mahogany finish. Very early VV-IV's had a stamped steel grille covering the horn opening (near left); subsequent versions used conventional wood slats (below). In 1917, the slats were totally removed, revealing a hollow horn opening (right). Apparently, this was not a popular cost-cutting move, and the slats re-appeared the following year. Several design changes were made during production of this Victrola, as indicated by the change of suffix letter after the serial number. Most changes were of a very minor nature. The IV used a simple single-spring motor.

The original 1911 selling price of the IV was $15.00. At the end of the model run, it sold new for $25.00. An estimated total of 608,000 Victrola IV's were produced.


SWEET!

That one on the label was the logo used well into the 20th century, and is still on the building that was the Camden NJ Headquarters (It is now privately owned condo "lofts".

Very neat reply! Thank you for such an informative and enlightening response, it's pretty cool to see the phonograph it came off of and see where it was produced! Too bad another historic site falls victim to progress and development but at least the building still stands!

I drive by it at least twice a week.
