I assume that this is a Columbia 110. I recently bought a mint Columbia 100 (w/o the ejectors). It is surprising to me that these are not as valued as their Victor counterparts. Mine sits near a similarly common Victor and the Columbia blows the Victor away visually. Even my wife loves the looks of the 100. Everything about it seems higher quality than the Victor (uh oh - should I expect to be flamed now?). I have to admit that it doesn't photograph well - you really have to see these in person.

I see now that it does have the tone louvres. From the first single photo that was put with the auction, I didn't see the vertical lines delineating four panels and wrongly assumed that it had two doors only like the earliest generation of Grafonolas.
