The Victor V started out as the "Victor D" model in 1903, and then was transitioned to Victor V nomenclature around 1906 when the tapered arm was first used, but there was some overlap in production with the identical D Model series. Selling for $60.00, it featured a large triple-spring motor, a brass horn, and a tapered tonearm. The cabinet was made of oak, and was larger than the Victor IV. The cabinet design was updated without the gingerbread carving around 1909. The Victor V was produced up until the early 1920's, by which time it's price had been raised to $67.50. Approximately 51,000 of these phonographs were produced (about 70,000 if Victor D production is included). During late production, some were produced with a mahogany finish, which is quite rare. At present, there is not a good correlation between serial number and production date for this model. Photograph shows a Victor V with the optional spearpoint wood horn.
