The Cabinet of the Model E is all wrong for the machine. Refinished and wrong cabinet style. Also model E did not have a banner decal.
That being said there appears to be a cygnet horn not pictured attached which in itself if original and in clean condition is worth quite a bit on it's own along with the mounting crane and back bracket.

True, But it's just a decal...It would probably come off without even a sanding... The rest of the machine looks solid.

The Victrola looks like a VV-X, type F or later version of this floor model. Produced in large quantities, not rare. Could be a solid performer on acoustics (and early electrics?).
