Thanks for the info. I took the plate off and found on the bottom of the motor the following: " Polk Motor # 30B, James K Polk, INC, Atlanta, USA, 968096, 25." Did some looking on the net and cannot find really anything except a school, a song and various other things.

Antique Questions Forum / Victrola ID

Let me first start off by thanking you in advance for information. Next, let me say that I know that a Victrola is made by Victor. I admit I am one of those people that will call any machine a victrola if it fits the category. I just got a victrola that came from my great grandmother, my mother grew up listening to it. However, I am unable to find any information on it via the internet. The tag reads "The Knox Emprophonic new reproducing phonograph." When I search the new nothing comes up. I do not know were to begin to look for the history. There aren't any dates that are visible anywhere or any other tags. I plan on passing this down to my children and would love to know some history on it. The reproducer shell says knox furniture MFG CO. Any help would be wonderful. Attached are some pictures.
