Help with identifying UK made Columbia Grafonola floor model

Post by nostalgia »

Can someone please help identify this floor model?
It is up for sale for a very low price.
My sitting room is getting very gramophone crowded, but if it is a rare item I will consider it.
Thanks a lot

Thank you epigramophone for helping me out, again:)
I have no Columbia catalogue, so I was unable to nail this one.
I like the gramophone, but it looks BIG. I need find a bigger place to live
to continue this hobby, or more correct...devotion:)

The complete 1929 Columbia catalogue was posted here by Soundgen some time ago, and I posted the 1913 catalogue at about the same time. A search should find both for you.
