That combo was made around 1931. Take a close look at the phonograph, if that machine has 78 & 33 1/3 RPM it is a VERY RARE one made to play the Victor Program Transcription discs which were the first commercially produced LPs. The 2-speed machines were only around for about 6 months or so. The LP format failed at the time due to poor sound quality and the fact that these were very expensive, and during the depresion very few people could afford them. I found mine in Oklahoma at a junk store and got it for $250 and thought I was really lucky to get it. Nice score.
