I don't know what it is, I've never seen one. It looks British, but who knows? It's a cool cabinet and if I had room, I would buy it... the price is reasonable and the machine is unusual.

The hardware doesn’t look like anything to write home about, but that cabinet sure is nice.

A Resonaphon, maybe? They had a big oval sticker inside their lids about like the dark spot under the lid of this one.

Sure. I doubt it's the same company, but it's the only thing I found that is anywhere close to the chamfered corners and the outline of the decal.

Re: what kind of phonograph is this?
There are Thorens models too. I'm seeing one these days at the flea market. It is a small tabletop, but has also chamfered corners an a very beautiful look. If next Sunday the seller allows me to take some photos, I'll post them here.
