Description:

Resin Sally doll atop a working antique 1920 Bingola children’s wind-up gramophone finished in enamel.

She’s mounted on a 78 RPM vinyl record, which can be removed so the gramophone can still be played.

Included are a number of records of questionable condition, the best being a Broadcast Junior record (pictured) that plays nicely as well as spare needles which, I am told should be replaced after every play.

I’ve only been brave enough to crank the key 20 times - more than that and I worry that I’ll break the mechanism and I wouldn’t know how to fix it.

If you don’t want to play with the gramophone, you can play at being Nice and drop some coppers into Sally’s mask. She needs them.
