This model seems to be missing the pin that usually protrudes from the back plate of such soundboxes. Perhaps it is a late model without the pin or maybe the back plate has lost its pin? The "Made in USA" wording is certainly applicable to later Exhibition soundboxes (post 1908). Without the pin isn't there a risk of the soundbox slipping round on its fixing when playing a record? I guess those with early G&T machines will know whether this would be the case.
Well, the Exhibition on my Victor E has the pin broken off; but it plays quite well, when rotated to the correct angle, with the set screw properly tightened.
