Re: nordica phonograph
Morgan,
This one of the many hundreds of "off brand" phonographs, of fairly low quality, that were sold in the teens & twenties. While it could still be fun to own, it is not worth $185 +6 hours worth of gasoline. (Maybe $75.) For something in the $185 price range, stick with the name brands, e.g. Victor, Columbia, Brunswick, Edison. They will hold their value much better.
Merry Christmas to you as well!

Re: nordica phonograph
If it was near you it might be worth anoffer of around $100 - but NOT six hours worth of travel.
The name refers to American operatic soprano Lillian Nordica - and there IS a resemblance:
