Found this on ebay, never seen one before, looks like an upside down Sonora baby grand. Ever seen one of these?

Nice style for a collector of different types of machines.

I tried to buy an oak example in Missouri a year or so ago. I was one call too late. They are really interesting looking machines and I would love to find a nice one someday. Preferably in oak.

Really cool for an off brand. Very funky design. It almost looks like something a really eccentric cartoon character would own.

I've seen them in person at Jasper's Victorian Palace and at the Union show.

I don't consider myself to be eccentric but I have one in oak. The oak ones are a bit hard to find.

So there are more of them out there than i thought. My wife saw the picture and thought it looked like a stove. The motor in the one i posted didn't look like anything to write home about, a 3 spring i think. Wonder if they used meisselbach like so many other non-victrolas out there?
By the way, that oak model restoration is stunning, very nice.
