    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Standing portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    How odd! His name is Odd Dahl, and he went adventuring with a Roald. I guess Roald and Dahl are common Norwegian names.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Legendary Adventurers' Guild, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • towering finger said:
    Seems an unusual name 'Odd' though I guess that isn't the case in Norway. Really clear photograph, looks like it could have been taken yesterday. His wife is very lovely and is stylishly dressed even on expedition.

    No idea, but let's compose a piece of music for it!

    Air raid/emergency siren

    Early audio recorder/player ?
  • Ross said:
    Funny that 1923–1929 is well before the invention of the Leslie speaker, which this definitely resembles.
  • Ross said:
    The nameplate on the speaker horn says Western Electric and maybe model 518-W? If so, that was a domestic radio speaker and probably wouldn't deliver siren-level volume. The question remains what it is doing on the spinning rig—it looks like there are slip rings to make the electrical connection while spinning. Radio special effects?
