Please help ID unmarked reproducer
This random flea market find has followed me home. I do not see any markings on it anywhere. Anyone know what machine this might have come off of?

Dunno, but I've seen that back somewhere... The looks of it are familiar, also with those screws in the front ring...

I thought it might be an adapter for an Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph--used for playing lateral or standard 78s--but it might be too short for that.

No locking pin, and no lateral movement either. Definitely not a DD adapter.
Part of a Heinemann or Meisselbach arm, maybe?

Let's try this again a couple of years later... maybe someone else will see it and know what it is.

It's either a generic after-market offering, or a reproducer used on one of the hundreds of off-brand machines. Most likely the latter. As such, it could have been used on any number of different marques.

My mind immediately jumped to "generic off-brand tonearm" and I think it is probably a variation of the Heinemann one. Used on a lot of different machines, not exactly an uncommon part. This is the closest ad I could find.
