The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Judging from the slanted top, I would guess that this is the old original podium from First Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas...

Hexaphone.

It's gotta be a pulpit. Perhaps a pulpit with a phono built in? Would be great for playing those ubiquitous copies of "The Rosary", that is if it's an Edison pulpit.

Do I see a dial plate lurking behind all that wrap? Could it be a console radio? Possibly with phono under the lid?

I think it is a Victor Credenza with the lid on backwards.

It might be a Credenza with the top cut off on an angle to fit into an attic bedroom with a sloped ceiling... a rare eBay alteration.

I'm with the Hexaphone group. With the slanted top and the contour just below the slanted top it screams Hexaphone. Add in the bottom shirt and legs and it's a done deal. At least in my mind
