Any one ever seen a Victrola plate made of brass?
Patents are 1904 and 1906
Marked ALHAMBRA 2186
Dug last weekend


Thanks for everyone`s 2 cents in advance.

Been to Victrola web site and looked at all kinds of plates but none are brass.

I had one just like it and I sold it on eBay. It has some value. I took mine off of a large phonograph machine that was rotting away. I lost my pictures on my old computer. I dont think mine said alhambra.
 

I found my old pic here at TN. Mine said CREDENZA. I also salvaged an old cup of needles. Sold it all on eBay.

Thanks for your reply bigcypresshunter :hello2:

Was yours Brass?

I think this one is off a 1925/26 model.
A 1929 Merc was found in the same yard.

Yes mine was brass. It was fastened with 4 small nails to a large wooden Credenza Victrola Talking Machine. It was left out in the rain in a trash pile. It was a shame that was all I could salvage.
