I'm sorry to say this model was not one of them.....

That sounds like a Sonora or even Viva-Tonal Columbia; acoustical Brunswicks all used exposed grilles, as far as I've even seen.

No, it was a Brunswick BR 60 with a handcrank Ultona phonograph and a battery powered radiola from 1925. There is a picture of one in the Wakeman book on the APS site on page 91 and here are some pics of Brunswick with the door over the grille:
