Lot 62 Johann Schmidt’s Victrola
Johann Schmidt’s Victrola. Johann Schmidt’s hand-cranked Victrola, which is visible in the sequence when Dr. Zola visits Red Skull in his office while he’s having his portrait painted. The tension of this memorable scene is heightened through the masterful use of the music “Siegfried’s Death and Funeral March” from Act III of Richard Wagner’s opera, Götterdämmerung. This is a real Victrola with real 78rpm disc (Woody Herman and his Orchestra) bearing a studio-created record label on one side for Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. It exhibits some light scuffing and wear from production use, knob for the left front cabinet door is detached, motor needs adjustment but could easily be repaired. Measures 16 in. x 20 in. x 14 in. Approx. 30 lbs. Special shipping arrangements will apply. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
