I am unsure what these parts would go to... can anyone help me identify these parts?
i think one is a reproducer part.

The large part is the body of a Columbia long throat reproducer, missing the needle bar and diaphragm.

In it's current condition, not much. It will be a challenge to find a needle bar, but you might get lucky, a mica diaphragm is easy. Don't throw it away, you might find a phonograph without a reproducer...

I think George Vollema has made replicas of these and I am sure a new needle bar could be fitted.

It's maybe worth $45, give or take.

The lack of engraving on the inside suggests that it came from a Columbia client machine, such as a Standard AA, X, or X2.
