Be sure to state and spell the manufacturer and brand name accurately.
I imagine the brand is actually: Victrola. The manufacturer is the Victor Talking Machine Company.
Logo is a drawing of a dog listening to a large cone-shaped speaker attached to a record player, right?

In working condition they can be worth several hundred dollars. But they are costly to ship and need some serious consideration when packing to ship. Far better to sell locally.

It's "Victrola" not "Victor Ola"

Grew up in Ohio. From the instant of the flash we would count one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, etc until the boom of the thunder which would give us the miles away. We would then flip the pillow to the cool side and wake up at 5am. All you need to know about thunder on a farm.
Note, you can see the flash thru your closed eyelids.
