If it was, it's been modified with an older style tonearm, and small horn:

The looks of the cabinet and the soundbox have despised me... I couldn't see any photos except the one in the OP

I didn't spot the "sideways" arrows the first time I looked at it on FB marketplace.

Culling over Joe Wakeman's book about Sonora phonographs, and comparing the OP's photo, I think it might be a Plymouth highboy model (circa 1924) missing most of it's legs.
