First Record 1700
A good friend Robert S from
Sweden has given
permission to display some
photographs of his very early
Record 1700.
This was one of the first batch
of 25 ever produced .
They were hand made and
assembled at this very early
venture around 1939.

Please note the Hand writing on
the carton and the hand type
written note
|
Handles were made to a similar
design for more than 20 years,
with colour being the chief
variation on differing models.
|
Here we see the riveted foot
common to all Records at this
time.
|
Here we see the agate bearing
end cap and of course the black
left hand sideplate.

Model details were recorded on
the right or winder side

Thanks
again Robert for sharing what most of us will never hope to
actually own!
If
you have any others listed below, that are unneeded or
doubles in your collection and are available for a reasonable
fee, I would be very pleased to hear from you. I cannot afford
to collect Mint, in-box or unused reels at present, until my
children have completed their education.
