Can't say I've ever seen that model before, but it looks like a Heineman style tone arm from behind. Farwell, Ozmun Kirk and Co. was a hardware wholesaler who branched out into the general merchandise trade in the early 20th Century. They were publishing large catalogs in the 1910s and 1920s. No telling who may have built the phonograph for them.
The grain of that quarter sawn oak cabinet is beautiful. Although there's not a lot of styling detail, the grain really pops and makes up for it. I'd date it roughly 1918-1922.
