The rounded corners of the lid almost have a 1930s look, although the rest of the cabinet looks pure 1910s. It would be an attractive machine if restored.

Great find! This particular model was called the Early Virginian Upright... there was also a corresponding console unit. Granby Phonographs were a short production run, 1920 - 1923. I have noticed several seem to be popping up in Ohio lately; this is not surprising as my research uncovered there was a major distributor in Ohio...

The facebook listing has it "sold" as of tonight. Congrats to the lucky buyer! Fair priced phonographs are moving... this is good! ;)
