Does anyone know the model and year of this Columbia Grafonola floor model phonograph?

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

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.

I am not sure how to tell what crank it is

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