To my eyes, it looks like an aged reproduction, with the wrong horn.

This seller has been listing some pretty serious phonographs and phono-related collectibles recently. I recognize the background. Too bad this one is a repro :?

Yep-- Repro-- There is an "R" on the reproducer. I assume the maker was trying to ensure that it was recognized as a repro.

The reproducer looks too clean and the screw heads don't look vintage to me.
