That's pretty cool! I worked for Ward's in the 70s.

Holy mackerel, the 1928 Wards "Richland" is almost identical to the M.W. Savage "Northome" brand consolette phonograph I picked up last October. Bet you they're probably both the same cabinet supplier for Wards as for mine--all that's different would be the legs and the pattern of the grille.
Another win for forums. You can't find resources this well on Facebook or Reddit. Thanks!

Once saw the “new style” S shape tone arm mounted on a VV-XI circa 1915 vintage. Page 315. Estate sale from the late 1990’s.
One way to play those new “Viva Tonal” recordings on your old style Victrola.
