Seller only shows one end of the box. Appears to be either a Model "C" or Model "CS"

Most likely from a second style C.

Interesting, but makes me a bit sad.

Looks like the buyer backed out after winning. Box now relisted.

Re: Graphophone storage box on EBAY
I agree it looks like the cabinet from a model C.
Any opinions on if this was built as a phonograph cabinet or a conversion after the fact. Either way it was "re-purposed" a long time ago.
Interesting that it was relisted. I was going to bid but missed the closing date and lost out last time.

Re: Graphophone storage box on EBAY
The conversion looks to me to be home-made (screws showing on the top, etc.). Done a very long time ago, though, during the era when old phonographs were just viewed as old junk that might be repurposed for something else rather than the objects we treasure today.

Re: Graphophone storage box on EBAY
I bid on this both times. Interesting case, for sure, it would look great with my polished Eagle on top of it, and some artifact in the drawers!
