The phonograph is an Aeolian-Vocalion model, and the record she is holding is from the same label. "Vocalion (pronounced "vo-CAL-yun") was founded in 1916 by the Aeolian Piano Company of New York City, which introduced a retail line of phonographs at the same time. " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocalion_Records The "Aeolian-Vocalion" label appeared in the U.S. in late 1917, first as a 1200, then 12000 series of vertical-cut records. Unlike the records then available, they were a reddish-brown colour, and the company's promotional material stressed the "red records". After it became legal, the company launched a line of lateral records in a 14000 series in 1919. The "Aeolian" was dropped from the unwieldy name in 1920 and the label became "Vocalion". www.capsnews.org/barrbru.htm
