The
VV-111 was an update of the VV-XVI/VV-120 models. This phonograph was introduced
in late 1922 after VV-120 production had ceased. The 111 had more modern design
features, such a a larger horn opening and a shallower lid. All VV-111's had the
semi-automatic brake, gold plated hardware and a four-spring motor. Early 111's
were produced only in mahogany or walnut, but oak became available in late 1924.
All VV-111's had identical design features. The 111 was discontinued in
late 1925. Some VV-111's have a suffix letter after the serial number, but the
use of these suffices do not appear to be consistent, and likely relate to
machines intended for export.
The original 1922 selling price of the VV-111 was $225.00. An estimated total of 22,738 spring-wound Victrola 111's were produced.
Electric versions of the 111 were available for $40.00 extra. A total of 1,279 electric VE-111's were produced.
The current collector database shows the earliest existent VV-111 to be S/N 870 and the latest to be S/N 23159.
