This particular adapter I've been watching for a while. It's been up there several months at that price and the seller has yet to lower it to try and move it. It interests me as Empire was one of the vertical cut brands of the teens that I'm researching although I'm not interested at that price. The Empire Talking Machine Company produced both phonographs and had both vertical and universal cut records. A separate and related entity, Empire Phono Parts Company, produced universal tonearms but I've never seen any documentation that matches this particular tonearm. In fact, anything I've seen only advertises the universal tonearm with never a mention of an Edison adapter. However, I don't have any documentation after Empire's records stopped and Empire Phono kept going for a number of years so it's possible this product came out after 1921. The reproducer clearly is an Empire and it does look like everything matches so would assume it's a complete Empire product. Does anyone have any Empire literature that shows this?

Maybe you didn't notice that it is broken into two lines? In those situations you have to copy the whole two lines and paste it into your browser.
