I also just acquired a 3rd style Victor VTLA with serial # 8269
along with it's bill of sale dated Jan. 28 1909.
On mine there is no tag adhered to the back of the compartment
below the horn opening or evidence there ever was.

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.
