It's not mine of course, but $250 doesn't seem to bad for it.

Nice! Looks like a Mignonette or Grafonola 100.

A lovely machine, one that Frank correctly ID'd as a Nonpareil when one popped up in Worcester, MA last year: http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... +worcester

Wish I'd had room for it!

These are nice machines, especially since it oak. Most of these machines were made from mahogany.

Nice machine, for a "Victorola"... :mrgreen:

If all the carvings & veneer are intact, and it's working with no seized or broken pot-metal parts, $250 is probably fair, considering the oak finish.

Usually these are found in heavily alligatored mahogany.

A beauty! I'd be right on it, if I had room & someone to help me move it and it was in maybe Jamestown NY or Rochester or Buffalo ....
