Welcome!
This website is dedicated to antique phonographs made by the Victor Talking Machine Company from 1901 through 1929. It contains detailed information about the various models that were produced by Victor, along with rarity, design features, technical information, valuation, and more. This site is for beginners and seasoned collectors alike. If you are just getting started and want to learn about these machines, or are looking for some basic information about your Victor or Victrola, please visit Getting started and read through the brief material. It will help you navigate this website. Once familiar with the layout, feel free to investigate all aspects of these early phonographs.
This site covers only Victor Talking Machine Co. brand phonographs. There were many other makes of phonographs produced in the early years of this century, including Edison, Sonora, Columbia, and hundreds of others. If you desire information on other brands of phonographs, please visit the Resources section. Please note that post‑1930 “RCA‑Victor” branded products are also not covered here, as they were produced after the RCA Corporation bought the Victor Talking Machine Company.
In addition, we do not have information on any modern Victrola‑branded products (which play LP vinyl records) currently available from retailers.
The Victor Victrola Database
Since 1978, we have maintained a large database of Victor and Victrola machines that are found at auctions and shows, as well as from listings on eBay and elsewhere. Additionally, we augment this database with information that individuals send to us via this website. This data is used to help determine when models changed, survival rates, design details, and more, and supports research with other collectors. If you own a Victor or Victrola and would like to help this site by contributing to the knowledge database, please click here. Thanks!
Please Note: This website is currently undergoing a complete rebuild and update. As a result, some links and pages may be temporarily unavailable. We anticipate completion of this work by early September 2026. Thanks for your patience.
