This item has been in my husbands family since 1910. It was his great grandmothers. 
Can you guess what it is yet? 
How about now? ... Hint.. old timers ipod...
It's a Victrola, and it still works! Although the sound leaves something to be desired.
The details on it are fabulous. 
When I opened it's top I found the original shipping label. It was soaked with gear oil but still legible.
It was shipped from Chicago to a small town on the west coast. It only had her name the town and state listed. No zip code or street address. 
I just love it and hope that it stays in our family for years to come.
