Is this a brunswick?

Tinkerbell,

Have you followed the link up at the second or so message that shows many brunswick machines and numbers? I found it to be a good help here.

Yes, unfortunately no dice there... it's not listed/pictured.

There seems to be a lot of small detail changes on brunswick machines it seems. My upright has carved top and bottom, but unlike the one in the original photo which has carving wider than the corner trims, mine has the carving within the corner trim perimeters. The lower detail on the one today was a more raised and heavy than mine but at a glance one would have said they were the same. I wonder if each had a different number? Seems like Brunswick stayed pretty close to the basic shell for many models with small changes to exterior trims for various models. That large queen ann leg low boy shown on the machine reference site comes in at least three variations I know of of the same box on legs.

Cabinet-wise, mine is most like the model 22, but with a different grill and brass rather than wood knobs. My B also has gold-finished hardware, and two separate reproducers (lateral and Pathé).

The ONLY place I've even seen my exact cabinet model (and description) is in the advertisement from the November 1917 issue of Etude. The cropped pic from that ad follows.

Turned out to look a lot better in the photo than in person. It had been more or less tampered with by someone. The spring was broken, the tone arm was spray painted gold and the turntable was missing the felt.. I didn't wait to see what it went for as It was a huge sale and it would have been hours from now before they got to it. Some woman and her daughter seemed to be mildly interested in it, but I doubt when I told them the spring alone plus shipping was going to probably be almost what a decent one went for elsewhere.

That must have been disappointing... How much were they asking for it?

I really like my Brunswick, and at 50 bucks, I couldn't beat the deal. I just wish there was a way to find out more information about my model (or even what the model number is, for that matter).

PS ~ For those who wanted sunglasses off, request granted.

Here is one on my local market for $175. I was thinking it may be the one I sold before but it looks like the cabinet is in better shape.

Tinkerbell, your mouse ears are gone too! I almost did not recognize you!

That is a cool machine for sure. Is it the version with the square horn still? I had one of those which used the one diaphragm head and I never got it to play satisfactorily. Now that I think about it, maybe someone said that reproducer was a latter cheaper type, but it was with the square horn which I thought was the first type? But I am surely no expert. Someone needs to do a book on Brunswicks for sure.

Yes, it does have the square horn.
