It is a nice looking machine.

Is the Fireside shown, a Model A with large carriage and Diamond B reproducer, or a straight Model B Fireside? If this is a Model B Fireside, does it have holes in the back of the case for a Cygnet horn?

My Fireside Model B which has the blue flowered horn set has no holes drilled for Cynet horn. here are some photos of the support feet. I bought from the original owner’s daughter and everything was there except the rod for the crane.

Nice machine. Is yours a Model A with a large carriage or a Model B ? I think the Model B Firesides were set up with a Cygnet horn.

Mine is a Model B with diamond B reproducer.
Here are the options for the Fireside Model B listed in “A guide to the Edison cylinder phonograph”
