Help ID this one, Please

got this at a local consignment shop. it had a Harvard front mount case and motor, a victor one back bracket, elbow and large victor horn with is (they actually thought the horn and bracket went on it). They said all the parts went to this phono. Oh well price was very cheap so I have completed the Victor one and the Harvard thanks to JAS Antique and Mr Sitko. Now I need to sell this ??? because I do not have room for it. someone has refinished the phono. The motor runs strong and quiet and the reproducer has been rebuilt by someone. I don't see a make on it . I'm guessing Brunswick or Silverton. What does the expert think. Thank You

Is that a Model T fender in the last photo ?

Yes it is a Ford model T rear fender . it is a 1925 coupe. I have a 1917 touring car and a 1913 speedster also. it is easier to ID than this phonograph

My grandad had two T's when he was young... a '24 Coupe` and a '26 Runabout. He always spoke very fondly of them.


I have a '28 Special Coupe (Model A); a T is on my bucket list.


Wish I could help with the phono ID...

I'm curious, what kind of Harvard front mount do you have?

Because there are no markings evident. It was probably made by one of "many" company's that popped up post WW1. Value and desire tend to be low & limited. One reason is, the very one you mentioned....."space" or lack thereof.

Your best bet is to list it in your local CL as just a "Victrola style Phonogragh" and hope you get a bite. You could also try our "Yankee Trader" section. However, logistic's could be a problem.
