The London model I once owned had a metal tag under the motor board. You actually had to lift the motor board to see the ID tag, which was in the front lefthand corner under the motor board on the side wall of the cabinet.
If you have a London model, these were actually made in New London, Wisconsin. They were specifically made for export. There was actually a furniture factory in New london that made the cabinets that were fitted with diamond disc motors. (The machine should play any conventional diamond disc.) After the fall of the phonograph and the rise of radio the New London factory made Edison "Little Folks" furniture. A good source for more information on this topic, and your console, would be Robin and Joan Rolfs. They have a great deal of knowledge about the New London factory and it's years of operation.

Was this a common model????
