Another Silvertone finished

[CDBPDX]

I think this is a Silvertone Model VI c.1920. The grill cloth is the same as mine, which is also oak. I just brought it home from a Goodwill online auction. It has a 2 spring Saal EE motor, runs quiet, smooth, and strong. It is pretty grungy but is cleaning up nicely. Hopefully, it will look as nice as yours!

That's a really nice looking table top machine.

Sears made pretty nice pianos in those days as well, and probably made the phonograph cabinets in the same factory. They even gave them a 25 year warranty it seems like. It's finished like many of the oak Beckwith's I've seen. The grille cloth even looks like what I've seen them use in pump organ cut out! Very nice looking machine you have. I had a great aunt that had a Silvertone one of her husbands bought new in the 20's. It was a nice looking machine, but in those days it would have been pretty hard to get my Dad to let me bring it home since it wasn't an Edison or Victor. Now, there simply isn't the space. Haha!

It is possible, but many of the Silvertone cabinets were made by the Pooley Furniture Co - these have a metal plate on the back marked PFC.

That is really nice. I like the contrast between the wood and metal plates on the upper deck.
