Need help to identifying horn gramophone.

[78monarch]

Is there anyone who can help me to identifying this gramophone.

British Zonophone "Compton" circa 1909/10.

At first I thought it was sitting on a pedestal which had had it's legs amputated, but as it appears to have carrying handles it is probably just a record storage box.

Thank you for the help

Absolutely correct. I had this machine and my example had the decal.

Looking at the current example it appears the front panel of the cabinet has been polished over or had the original finish gently rubbed down / dissolved to re-amalgamate it. There is a darker rectangular area in the centre which is often a tell-tale sign of a cabinet having been gone over. It's possible the original decal dried out and flaked off (my example was starting to do this, hence why it left the building!) in parts and a previous owner, wanting to tidy the appearance up, dissolved the finish and re-worked it over the front to remove the remaining traces of the decal?
