Nice Grill on a Silvertone Upright

Post by CDBPDX »

Just brought home a Silvertone upright phono with a beautifully carved grill.

Needs some rough edges smoothed out a bit, but still a fairly impressive piece, I think.

P.S. - A DECCA record brush was inside

That grille is molded out of resin, much like what you would find on an Edison Heppelwhite H-19

The grill looks amazing with the beading and acanthus leaf corners. Any idea whether that grill was standard for that model?
