What's This Thing?

The seller only has these blurry pics and is asking $250 for it. Is it a frankenphone?

It looks similar to a Columbia BNW, but not sure.
Shown had a some kind of corner columns and possibly a replaced top.
I don't see any controls.

It's legit. Maybe not in the very best condition though. I believe it's a Columbia BN. I sold one like it recently.

That looks like a better match.

Yes, a Columbia, later version. I suspect the top is original, just lost its thin oak veneer.

Thanks guys. I wouldn't buy it for more than $75 tbh.
