I just acquired a Victor VTLA (3rd Style, first Domed Lid Style), serial number 2357, which is from the era that according to the Victor Victrola Website, cabinets were supplied both by Pooley & Victor from 1907-1909, before Victor took over the cabinet making completely.
When I opened the two L doors and looked straight into the back of the square storage compartment, immediately below the horn opening, I noticed a rectangular celluloid ID Plate, neatly attached with two screws. It is White with black lettering which says STYLE B, and Immediately underneath that a large P with a square around it. Does the P stand for Pooley, or would the P indicate the identification of the Cabinet Factory with the Victor Complex where the Cabinet was made. Thanks for you help on this. I can immediately see 100's of VTLA owners who see this, immediately running to their machines and shining a flashlight into that compartment to see if they have one of these celluloid ID Plates.
