I know virtually nothing about Columbia products but it looks like a Columbia Model that I saw online some time back called The "Meteor". I scribbled some notes about it a fw months back because I was looking for information about early Victrolas. It looked similar to a Victor VV-IV.

I may be entirely wrong but maybe if you search for it online it may help. Good Luck!
