I would go with it. If you have only 1 console, this would be the one. This might be an art cased machine. I hope the price is reasonable and you get it. Good luck,

To my knowledge, there is no such thing.
Like Sonora, Brunswick actually called these
De-luxe Period models.
As yet I haven't be able to identified this particular machine, but others in the range included the Tudor, Raleigh & Colonial. They had gold plated hardware, held 8 albums, & wind-up machines had 3 or 4 spring motors. As far as I can tell, the De-luxe period models were introduced in late 1924 or early 1925, just prior to the Panatrope machines.
According to advertising, Brunswick then introduced more affordable period models like the Eton & Arden "as the result of a widespread demand for a somewhat smaller standard period model". These models all appear to have had double spring motors, and only held 4-6 albums.
