Have owned 40 years- Purchased from Granny's Antiques in Bridgeport, Texas. I was told it came from a house of ill repute in Ft. Worth, Texas that had been boarded up since the Prohibition Days. It has been a conversation piece for our guests and my pride and joy.
This is an early 20th century Model L Nickelodeon by JP Seeburg in quarter-sawn oak and with leaded stained glass door front at the top. The art glass in the style of Tiffany, but not produced by Tiffany. The view as seen from a portico was a standard design on their art glass front Model L players. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
