BACK TO: Victor model identification and pictures.
Victor's last hurrah for the outside horn phonograph, the Victrola XXV (also sometimes marked the Victor XXV) was used in schools into the mid 1920s, a recognition of the acoustical superiority of the outside horn as opposed to the internal horn Victrolas which had invaded the home. The wooden horn was standard on all variations of the Schoolhouse Victrola -- most used a large, smooth horn with oversize elbow as depicted in the picture below, but a few variations have turned up with original ribbed horns. The drawer in the front pulls out for convenient record storage.
