Morgan,
This one of the many hundreds of "off brand" phonographs, of fairly low quality, that were sold in the teens & twenties. While it could still be fun to own, it is not worth $185 +6 hours worth of gasoline. (Maybe $75.) For something in the $185 price range, stick with the name brands, e.g. Victor, Columbia, Brunswick, Edison. They will hold their value much better.
Merry Christmas to you as well!

The name refers to American operatic soprano Lillian Nordica - and there IS a resemblance:
