help identify

[zartan13]

Hi I was wondering if anybody has any idea of who makes this or any information on this it has no markings on it except for what looks to be a star with a s in it on the needle holders
I picked it up at an antique shop but the owner had no info on it either thanks for the help

Looks European..??. Are you over there??.

[OrthoSean]

Pretty sure that it isn't European. Those are Walters-Conley parts. I know I've seen one of these before somewhere, but I can't remember where (Montgomery Ward / Sears catalog??).

Neat deco looking machine, though!

EDIT: Reading the original post again - could the star with the "S" stand for Silvertone? That would make this a Sears machine, if so.

Orthosean I was thinking silvertone also but couldn't find anything similar made by them

Davis made oddly configured phonographs, but I'm not sure if this is one of theirs.

It appears to be the Wards model discussed in this topic (How long were cabinet acoustic phonos made in the US?):

Coincidentally, I just picked up the 1937 Sears Silvertone model also discussed in the same topic.
