Brunswick Hampton possibly. This was one of their acoustic Panatrope offerings, had the large oval wood horn for amplification. Same cabinet was used for other Brunswick models too.

Other views of a Brunswick Hampton. This model doesn't turn up so often, but I've seen others that were "amputees", much as so many Edison A-100 machines. The Brunswick cabinets were more robustly constructed, but floods or careless movers doubtless took their toll on such machines.

Thanks for the info! They sure did a number on an otherwise beautiful machine. I have never seen one before and wonder how someone could have seen this beauty in all of its glory and still have gutted it. Another loss to the collecting world.
