    Needles box for RCA record player needles."In His Master's Voice" should bring to mind the advertising illustration of the dog cocking his head to the Victrola.

      Nipper was the dog

      The Victrola needles badge isn't junk. I had a friend who had both a Victrola and a wax-cylinder player, and he had several boxes of the very same type.
      Collectors would undoubtedly want it. 😁

      Look closely and you can see Nipper on the right looking into the phonograph on the left

      I was going to say, but you beat me to it. Phonograph needles from the RCA Victor Company.

    That needle box was for an RCA Victor phonograph needle. Nipper the dog listening to the sound of his masters voice

      @riffers 2 дні тому +2

      It might even predate Victor, as the Gramophone Corp was founded in the UK 3 years earlier than Victor and used Nipper first.

    Great finds once again. I must say that I am getting very good at identifying all the Georges, along with Victoria, Albert and Elizabeth II, not bad for a Texas guy. Thanks for the videos. Cheers from Texas.

    Something special about seeing the Spanish Detectorist (with a French accent) in a Santa cap with the crazy Scottish Detectorist two weeks before Christmas 🎄.

    The old metal label was most likely from an RCA Victor Talking Machine. It reads, "His Master's Voice. " This refers to the dog listening to his "master" on the talking machine.

    1946 is ok to say if you are counting the occupation tho🤪 could the needles be phonograph needles? hence the VOICE..could the square holed coin be a replacement for a military insignia/ badge backing? some had square posts
