not so much the Needle Tins & Accessories.
As my wife is constantly telling me "you can't collect & keep everything" hence the below items are For Sale.
PLEASE EMAIL (bottom of this Webpage) for further description or to order any of the Items.

1937 Coronation Medal
(Accessory 104)
The excellent definitive book "The Collectors Guide to "His Master's Voice Nipper Souvenirs" by Ruth Edge & Leonard Petts describes the Coronation Medal along with two pictures on page 52.
Extract from Book:-
The Gramophone Company's 1937 Coronation Medal was manufactured by Mappin & Webb of Oxford Street, London.
The face of the Medal shows the heads of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The reverse records that the Medal was issued to commemorate the dealer's association with the Company during the Coronation year of 1937. Each Medal was supplied in a cardboard box, covered with dark blue leatherette paper, the Medal resting in a nest of blue velvet.
We originally thought that the Medal was made of silver however it carries no hallmark and tests have shown that
it is in fact made of a low density metal, probably some sort of zinc alloy.
During reconstruction work at the old premises of C.R. Spouge and Company of 11/12 Cornhill, Lincoln, the Silver Shield shown in the book was discovered in the roof area. An extensive search in the EMI Archive has failed to reveal the details of its issue. It would appear that both the Shield and the Medallion
shown in illustrations were presented to each Gramophone Company dealer in Britain during the Coronation year of 1937. If this is the case it would mean that some 3000-4000 of these desirable souvenirs should be awaiting discovery by eager collectors.
Approximate Dimensions 1.5" (3.75cm) diameter X 1/8" (3mm) thick.
Please see the photographs of both sides.

GRAMOPHONE CATALOGUE
Catalogue of Paillard Gramophones
(Accessory 110)
This is a copy by the City of London Phonograph & Gramophone Society (CLPGS) of the Paillard Company (Switzerland) Catalogue loaned by Monsieur Paillard.
The Catalogue is undated, but judging by the models shown possibly pre-1914?
The Catalogue contains full page pictures and descriptions of approximately 70 Gramophones.
It is Paillard's Maestrophone range; the name Maestrophone was virtually unheard of here in the UK because most of these Gramophones were imported without identification.
Many Gramophones especially horn models bear no or little meaningful identification.
The solution to identifying that unknown Gramophone in your Collection could be found in this Catalogue.
Gramophone descriptions in English, French & German.
Page size is approximately 24cm X 18cm (9.5" X 7.5")
Approximately 70 pages
Printed in black and white.
The original printing of this 100 year old Catalogue or the reproduction by the CLPGS about 30 years ago was not good.
This reprint is in good condition, but the clarity of the illustrations is poor in comparison to modern day standards.
For Sale only £12.95
