Is this the Columbia Client, or the Edison Standard?

The standard talking Machine co.
It's a Columbia client with a ⅝" spindle. Small table top.

I am very familiar with these machines. I wanted to clarify this so members not familiar will not get confused. The model E Columbia Client is fairly common. You should be able to get one at a good price. The Model B Columbia Client is pretty scarce. The only difference is the decal and the grill. The E has a series-of turned columns at the horn opening. The B has a fretwork grill.
Personalty, I prefer the E, because I think it is more attractive.

I can't help with the more common Model E, but here's a photo of the Model B:
