Mystery Zonophone
Hello, everyone. Someone sent me this picture; it's the only one I have, and I have no other information. Can anyone tell me what model Zonophone this is, when it was made, if it looks all original (the crank and decal in particular look iffy to me, and the horn looks like it may have come from a different type of machine), etc.? Thank you!

To my eyes. Everything about the machine looks correct and original.

Looks like the crank is a reproduction.

It appears that it might have a Victor Exhibition reproducer.

Re: Mystery Zonophone
I had one like this and this one looks totally correct. The horn and crank are as they should be...
