A vintage "Broadcast - Loud Tone" gramophone needles tin
This is a gramophone needle tin for the "Broadcast" brand. On the front is their distinctive logo: the planet Earth, with a lightning bolt running through it, over a bright red background, with black lettering, edged in gold.
This tin is for their Loud tone needles. It has a hinged lid and would normally contain about 200 needles. This example still has the paper insert and some of the needles.
The Broadcast Records brand was made in England, in the United Kingdom. They also produced gramophone records from the late 1920s to mid 1930s, so these needles are probably from that period. The parent company went into liquidation in 1932 and the brand had disappeared by 1934.
