The early Amberola 30s had a traditional black and metallic nameplate  
on the rear part of the bedplate (ebay # 250223138262)  . Later  
Amberola 30s had a gold nameplate affixed to the lid on left inner  
side ( Ebay #290208076241). The style (Ebay # 190204709958) looks  
phony to me.    

Thanks,
Steve
