According to my Sonora catalog circa 1922, this model is identified as the "Melodie"
Came in golden and fumed oak ,Mahogany or Brown Mahogany and has a double spring motor.
Tonearm adjustment was universal allowing play of all record types.

You may find a metal tag under the turntable that gives a serial number.

Thanks for the info. Sure enough the data plate was under the platter.
