Usually referred to as a Columbia "BA".
I stand corrected. As OrthoFan states below, it's a BN. Sorry.

What are they asking for it?

The cabinet looks just like the Columbia Improved Champion (BN) later-style (circa 1909) which appears on page 90 of the Columbia Phonograph Companion, Vol. II, by Robert Baumbach. The measurements would be: Height: 6.5 inches; Width: 12 inches; Depth: 12 inches.

I asked and he said he hadn't priced it yet. I will go back and look again, hopefully it's not too much.

FYI: The 9 panel nickel horn is very hard to find by itself and it looks to be in excellent condition. The horn alone would be worth $300+ if you needed one...
AND, Yes, the reproducer is correct...

I own two of these machines. One is called a BN and one is called a BNW.
