Could that be a Meteor from Piqua, OH?

I'm not so sure that's a Silvertone.

The tonearm ...

... is not typical of the ones used on Silvertone models.


All of the (pre-1926) Silvertone phonographs I've seen were equipped with this style tonearm:

It's definitely not a Silvertone. A Silvertone would have either a decal or a metal ID plate. The needle cups are not Silvertone. Silvertone machines have a semi-circular plate to hold the Pathé and Edison stylus, and the adapter part to play hill & dale records.
