If you notice the whole mechanism is much later than 1904. I think it was
lifted intact from a portable and put in this case. I think the patent tag
was added to cover up the original crank hole. Also the horn looks out of
place. I suspect it is a repro witches hat horn for a cylinder machine.

It's a fake patent date, too. Patents are issued on Tuesdays, but Dec 10
1904 was a Saturday. Dec 6, yes - Dec 10, nope.

Am I assuming correctly that someone even fabricated that name plate
claiming a patent date in 1904? or was that lifted from an actual Oxford
Jr.? No on 2nd thought it couldn't be real since the Oxford line did not
replace Harvard until a few years later.

Well, the Phillips type screws are pretty much a giveaway, is my guess

What in the world is this? The Oxford Jr. is suppose to be actually a
Columbia Model AP Cylinder type Graphophone at least that is what shows
up
in my Sears 1908 Catalogue. The Machine on Ebay even has a round
Identifying
plate with a patent date of 1904, I don't believe Sears used the Oxford
name
for its machines and records until a few years later. Also look at the
name
on the reproducer, it is not Columbia. Are we looking at some sort of
weird
Craponola here??
