Looks very much like my Baby Jeannette (with sound slots cut horizontally vs. vertically), "mfg by Jeannette Toy & Novelty Co. Jeannette, Pa." according to the printing on the reproducer diaphragm.
Hope this helps in you quest,
Bob

There's a flyer showing and describing the exact machine posted by the OP (not the Baby Jeannette) on page 158 of
Phonographica. The machine was manufactured by A. B. Cummings of Attleboro, Massachusetts.
