Description

Very rare wooden record storage and selector box ( possibly mahogany)containing 50 X 78rpm records, Possibly 1930's/1920's. Selector on the front of the box slides along to record of choice, and when pressed down, the record chosen will pop up in the box, ready to be played. Records are in excellent condition, as they have been kept in the box, probably all their life, and they are missing their original covers as they are fully protected in the card sleeves in the box.
