Bill, I love your machine. I think it's period correct and was painted in the early 20s. (my opinion only! )

And it’s the only one of my machines that our daughter has expressed any interest in keeping after I’m gone—so much for the Victor VI, VTLA, Credenzas, Sonora Philharmonic or Chippendale, or any of the rest of them. I can see what is likely to happen to those.

Studio-decorated Credenza. The left side panel shows a ghostly woman appearing to a man. The right side panel depicts a man dreaming of a woman with his opium kit beside him.
