It's a Grand. They cost $250 in golden, fumed, early english, or mission oak, brown mahogany, or mahogany. 24"w x 51"h x 24"d.
It's the lesser of the top three. The others were the Invincible I ($375) and II ($500, because it had the wood tonearm added) and the Supreme - a fugly monster which was $1000, including a matching record cabinet. Bombe cabinet models below it were the Elite and the Baby Grand.
