I've owned and restored/repaired several pre-electric wind-up 78 record players. My favored now is from the 1921 Minnesota State Fair, featured on the right by itself. Name it, and I'll donate producer wages to NA anon. ps- hint: It is not any brand of "Victrola".

@Atomic_Samson It is not an Edison. But I restored and repaired such an heirloom through my great grandmother's side for my oldest brother. Plays beautifully again (but of course only Edison records- not Victrola tech grooves).

@Alphakilopapa It is not a Silvertone, but that's also a good guess. Very popular model, and i repaired one of those.

@ScoWer22 Zenith maybe? Were they around back then?

@Alphakilopapa I think Zenith started in '27 or '28 as an electric turntable/radio alternative. That's the techs that put wind-ups out of business. Radio...and electric 78 plays.

Another hint, in the photo left is a "Nordick" that came to St Paul out of Chicago, and to the right the very popular Brunswick which rivaled the Edison for top market sales in the late teens. Not those either.

@ScoWer22 I took a swing in the dark on the chance I'd be lucky. I have my great-grandparent's Edison. Per family lore bought with monies from Great-grandfathers work on the Panama Canal.

@Atomic_Samson That is a beauty. In many ways I love my brother's heirloom Edison from our great grandmother more than this one, but it is not an Edison.

Answer is: Linderman. Linderman only lasted at that address in Mpls The Northwestern Music Co. through 1921. As i said most "talking machines" (wind-up) went out of business by 1925 when electric radios took over.This is a 1919 article from a trade mag I found online. At its peak there were somewhere between 500-800 wind-up phonograph brands in the US, which all evaporated or were gobbled up into electric turntable manufacturers who needed cabinet makers.
