Look for the Dog: Victor Talking Machines by Robert Baumbach

Table of Contents

For nearly twenty-five years, Look for the Dog has been the most used book on the phonograph collector's bookshelf. With this all-new color edition, the book is brought up-to-date with all new illustrations and greatly expanded text. Victor Talking Machines are highly prized collectibles today, and no other reference provides as much information on the company and the models they produced as Look for the Dog. The book offers detailed descriptions of each model including production quantities, standard and optional finishes, technical features, original cost and present value. It is easy and fun to read, and offers a wonderful insight into one of the great industrial companies of the early 20th century.

New information is provided on the men who contributed to the early success of the company. A fascinating tour of the huge Victor plant in its prime is reprinted from installments that appeared in the company's house organ, The Voice of the Victor.

One of the most appreciated features of the original edition was the inclusion of many original Victor Service Notes. These notes have been cleaned up and expanded for this edition. The appendix on accessories has been expanded and features all new color photographs.

Also new in this edition is the availability of a library of bonus material that is designed to enhance the enjoyment of your Victrola talking machine.

So cutie
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
This is a bit large for a travel size jewelry box lol I really thought it was going to be a bit smaller than what it was. I can see why some of the ladies in the comments are saying they’re using it as their main jewelry box since they don’t have much jewelry for a standard sized jewelry box. With that being said, it’s cute and CAN be small enough for travel. It fits a lot and I got this one in particular bc I like that it has a bigger lower compartment for larger pieces. It’s a nice quality travel jewelry box. It’ll fit my needs. But if you have a knack for packing small and you value space. I’d say skip on this one or do due diligence to double check the measurements to see if it’s something you’re okay with packing.

CUTE
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
I absolutely love this jewelry organizer! The 2-layer design gives it plenty of space without being bulky, making it perfect for travel. I was able to neatly store my earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets without anything getting tangled. The interior is soft and protects my jewelry really well, and the compartments are thoughtfully designed to keep everything in place. The compact size fits easily in my suitcase or handbag, which is a huge plus. The cloud white color looks elegant and makes it feel like a great gift option too. Overall, it’s practical, stylish, and very convenient for keeping jewelry organized on the go. Highly
