I bought this phonograph at an auction in Durango, Colorado, in 1968.  My Dad loved "old" things so much and this was a birthday surprise for him that year.  I paid $3.00 for it.  It came with a stack of records and many needles.  Inside was a copy of "The Eagle", a Fraternal Order of the Eagle magazine, dated 1935. The turntable is 9 inches diameter, and the case is 7 inches high by 15 inches wide by 11.5 inches deep.  The color is deep red, almost burgundy.  The decal inside says:         QRS       Model 15       Portable   The QRS Company     Chicago USA Thank you for taking the time to look at this.  I do hope your members may find some enjoyment in this challenge.
