Its fabulous. Certainly vintage, not modern "Crosley". I say British made.

Thank you both. It appears to have a horseshoe magnet pic up, so I assume it's pre war. I've just never seen one like it.

No. I just found it in an online post and was curious.

I agree about British made. That's a BTH (British Thompson-Houston) electrical pick-up, and the record on the turntable looks like a British HMV (Gramophone Co. Ltd. / EMI) disc too.

I believe you're right about the pick up. I did a quick search and found one, but I can't find anything on this particular machine. Thanks.
