Decca was the name given to the portable gramophones made by Barnett Samuel and Sons proprietors of the Dulcephone Co. in 1914. The firm had been in business since the 1830's selling musical boxes and phonographs. It wasn't until 1928 that the company finally changed it's name to the "Decca Gramophone Company" and then a year later in 1929 to the " Decca Record Company" later to gain some notoriety as the recording company that turned away the Beatles.
This section features the gramophones in my collection manufactured by Decca between 1924 and 1948
