That's a really cool-looking machine. Her cabinet is very distinctive. She's gorgeous!

Forgive me if this is wrong. I believe the Elgin was made by the Elgin company that eventualy became Universal and finally closed out in the 1950s. They were based in IL. They used to guarentee a job for life to their employees.
Again it's been a long time since I researched that.
