Notes
After aquiring this many years ago, I had no idea of its origin/manufacturer.  When I displayed it at a phonograph show, a long time collector/expert told me it was a German company named Mamut.  It's origin is the 1890's and it is quite a quality decorated machine.  It is rather delicate as far as mechanical aspect goes.  It would appear, that no one could duplicate the quality and strength of Victor Talking Machine Co.
