One that looks just like that (it may be the same one) has been on eBay as a "Busy-Bee phonograph" for about a month. It keeps getting re-posted becuase the reserve price is higher than what anyone has bid.

That's a Busy Bee "Grand." The horn has obviously been repainted, but nicely done. Not historically accurate (Busy Bee horns didn't have flower decoration), but still nicely done!
