Help identifying Columbia phonograph

Post by BigC »

I just bought this phonograph and have searched the internet for a model and the year it was made but no success. I know it was made in England but that's about it. Thanks for everyone's help.

Thanks I really liked it the moment l saw it. It also helped that the wife saw it and fell in love with it, one of the few times she has encouraged me to buy a phonograph.
