A fantastic early portable gramophone by the Columbia Graphophone Company Ltd, complete with original case and internal maker’s plaque. Marked No. 201, this is a classic early 20th-century wind-up machine, designed for travel and compact home use.

Finished in a black textured case with hinged lid, the interior reveals the original turntable, tonearm, and soundbox. The piece retains lovely period details throughout, from the simple mechanical controls to the honest industrial construction typical of Columbia machines of this era.

The gramophone is hand-wound and does play, producing sound as intended. The platter is a little warped and the audio is somewhat scratchy sounding compared to other machines I have for sale but it does play. It is supplied with three vintage records, allowing it to be used and enjoyed straight away.

Condition is consistent with age and use, with scuffs, marks, and general wear to the case exterior, along with light ageing to the metal components. Nothing that detracts from its display appeal—in fact, it adds to the authentic, timeworn character collectors look for.

Measures approximately 39 x 28 x 17 cm (approx. 15.3 x 11 x 6.7 inches).

A highly decorative and functional piece, perfect for interiors leaning into gramophone revival, dark academia, vintage music rooms, or old-world maximalist styling.
