ID this record cabinet, please?

Post by JohnM »

I bought this record cabinet on Facebook Marketplace and it will be delivered to me in a few days. Needs a little love, but should be amazing for a Victor V when it’s restored. I’ve seen cabinets that share some of the elements of this cabinet, but never one with the wide shoulders like this example.
Is anyone able to confirm if this is a Herzog, and if so, the model number?

I have no idea why I typed Pooley! I meant Herzog. Will go back and edit it. Thanks, James!

Similar, but not the same. I’ve seen several cabinets that share elements of this cabinet, but none exactly like it.

The image provided below from the link posted above is misidentified by the auctioneer. It is not an "Edison Herzog Record cabinet". It is "The Cabinet that Matches" for a Victor V manufactured by The Talking Machine Company (of Chicago). The OP question about manufacturer still stands. There are many details of his cabinet that look like a the Cabinet that Matches but it is not found in the CTM catalog. As far as the Herzog goes, the cabinet the OP shows does not show up in the catalog that Shawn O'Rourke has available. That catalog is the most complete document on Herzog record cabinets I have seen to date and the configuration pictured is not found in it. The mystery continues for me. I have never seen anything like it. JD
