You must get a lot of pocket-money!
It is an Edison Bell Duplex, meaning you can remove the concert mandrel and with a special adaptor also play standard size wax cylinders. Have not seen this case style in Edison Bell catalogs. Nonetheless a great first machine!
I've added a pic so one can clearly see the 2 mandrels

I didn't know the Edison-Bell Duplex was sold with a Triton motor. Those I've seen have Home motors. The Triton would be preferable!

Thanks for posting the EB catalog. Now I have some documentation on my duplex:
At some point in its past a combination attachment was added.
Lined up is the extension tube to play 2" records, Model C, Model H & Model D reproducers
Setup to play 2 or 4 minute 2" cylinders

Nice machine ! I always go to
http://www.edisonshop.com/reproducers/ducer.html
when looking at Edison reproducers , and is a useful page for any new collector but there isn't a picture or description of a D , so what was a D for ?
