Re: Columbia Grafonola floor model
Can you post some images with the lid up and storage compartment open? It is definitely on Columbia's higher end.

Re: Columbia Grafonola floor model
I believe this is a "Leader" or "Mignonette"... circa 1914-16.
Nice machine, 2-spring motor, if I recall.
The machines with the "tip-out" record bin were priced a bit below the ones with the double-doors and four individual tip-out bins, or the double-doors & "typewriter-ejector" slots.
Roughly equivalent to Victrola X or XI in terms of size & price.
Looks like this one is in nice condition.

If this has a female crank, then it is a Mignonette, made from about 1913-15. If it has a male crank, then it would be a Model $100.00 made from 1915-18. I love those ornate Columbia floor models. They have so much class.

Remove the crank and take a picture of it. Then I can identify it.
