Hello All: I am the owner of the Upside Down Decal Vernis Martin. Thanks Jerry for your kind words on our collection. Regarding the upside down decal, noted Victor / Victrola historian and author Robert Baumbach had also speculated to me that it never made it out of the factory but was also never made right and sat in the factory for years. Most likely in the anticipation of coming of the Orthophonic era and November 1925 "Victor Day" the factory was ordered to sell remaining inventory at "outta here" prices. Bob Baumbach did indicate to me a year or two ago that he is aware of one or two other Victrolas with upside down or "not perfectly centered" decals. They are indeed rare items and I am thrilled to have it. Thanks all.

And why? I wonder if it sat at the factory waiting to be fixed until it was out of style, and someone said "Mark it down and move it out" Eric Stott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loran T.
