Never seen one of these before. As it was sold by Montgomery Ward I assume that it is an American machine. I don't collect miniature gramophones, but this looks better made than many.

There's another one for sale on there right now.

It's a strange little phonograph that plays with the lid closed, since the lid is apparently the tonearm and horn...
