At right: The Victor V (Victor Five) manufactured by the Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden, NJ. The Victor V was the second to the top of the line of the "open horn" Victors. This particular machine has the optional No. 31 Oak horn known to collectors as the "Speartip" due the shape of the patterns in the wood. It measures 22 inches in diameter. Victor also offered metal morning glory horns in various sizes as well conical black and brass belled horns. 68,582 Victor V's were shipped between 1903 and the late 1920s. The Victor V has a 12 inch turntable driven by a 3 spring "spiral drive" motor. (Earlier versions marketed as Victor D had the "bevel drive" motor.) The cabinet is quartersawn oak, measuring approximately 16 3⁄8 inches square by 7 1⁄2 inches high. Purchasers had a choice of either a Concert Sound-box, or an Exhibition Sound-box (in the picture), and in the late 'teens both were replaced by the Victrola No. 2 Sound-box. The Victor V initially sold for $60 (ultimately increased to $67.50); the Oak horn added $8.00 to the price. (The No. 31 Oak horn cost $15.00 when purchased separately.)
