Another question on Silvertone Model XI

Post by Bronco-Jeff »

On the back of the Phonograph are tow metal plates. One on top is silver with black letter: F14199. The one on the botton is stamped with P.F.C.

I assume the top one is a Serial number, but what does the P.F.C. stand for?

Thanks,

Jeff

My guess would be "Pooley Furniture Company" but that's only a guess.

gramophone-georg is right. Pooley made the cabinets for Sears during their full phonograph run.

I don't think Sears ever went to another company for their cabinets.
