Lot Essay

In the late 1930's and throughout the 1940's, the styling of Wurlitzer Jukeboxes was taken to a new level by a gifted designer named Paul Fuller. Among the models introduced during the early 40's were the 700, 750, and 850. With their sophisticated and artistic use of plastics, glass, and wood, these designs became instant classics. This established Wurlitzer as a definitive force within the industry.
