LadyLazerJ Would you believe it's the remote volume control?

For more about May Peterson see comments under
For the companion photo (and more about the Aeolian-Vocalion see comments under
For more about the "Graduola" model of the Aeolian Vocalion see comments under

And is there still anything to add? Yes. The Aeolian Company did not just record May Peterson for their record label, they used her photograph in advertisements at least as early as 1919. see this page from the Saturday Evening Post. Might even be the same dress.
