Re: Manophone
That's listed in RJ Wakeman's article about the hundreds of "off-brand" models:

It seems to be in very good condition. I don't know if the asking price is in the ballpark.

Re: Manophone
It's a beautiful striped quartersawn oak cabinet and it looks complete... If I was near it, I would buy it for $300.

Re: Manophone
Wow! That looks like a very nice machine.
The Manophone was made by the James Manoil Co., New York. Slogan: "The Music Master of Phonographs." Began making talking machines in 1916, making 6 models with retail cost ranging from $15 to $200. The factory was moved from Newburgh, NY to Adrian, Michigan in 1917, took over the assets of Clough & Warren and became known as The Manophone Corporation.
We have several pages of research compiled on the Manophone, PM if you would like a copy of the information.
The model you are looking at is probably the Style B, first advertised in 1920, retail of $175, finished in mahogany, golden or fumed oak, universal tone arm, automatic stop, tone modifier, double spring motor, nickel plated hardware.
Here is an ad from the Talking Machine World, August 1920, page 92:
Let us all know if you get it!
