A Guiniphone portable gramophone. Originally sold for a guinea (£1.05) these portables are smaller than the usual 'pic-nic' portable. They do not have a soundbox in the same way as most gramophones but instead have a card sound reflector. This machine retains its original reflector with the stylised designs on the panels (see photo). The centre of the reflector has worn away and has been repaired with new card which needs colouring in. Also the retaining clip in the lid is missing but could easily be replaced. Mechanically the machine is working well and the rexine covering to the case and leather carrying handle are in good condition. An nice example of a less common portable gramophone.
