The Most Valuable Collectors' Items in History

207. RCA Victor record player

Manufacturer: RCA
Original Price: $ 50 *
Current value: $ 500- $ 2.000 *

Before RCA purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company in the late 1920s, the latter was the largest stereo and tape manufacturer in the world. RCA, a record company, purchased Victor and continued its line of stereos, including Victrola.

Now, a Victrola can be worth between US $ 500 and US $ 2,000 depending on the condition. Other vintage Victor and RCA record players can also fetch a lot at auction. Old record players that work generally cost US $ 180 to US $ 250, unless they are a rare and harder to find piece, like the Victrola. The Victrola was originally made in 1906 as a phonograph.
