The Victor R or Victor Royal, perhaps named in honor of Eldridge Johnson's friend Belford Royal. The machine was capable of accepting a rigid arm, but is almost always seen as a front-mount. The Royal was never offered with a tapered tone arm.
The pictures show a Concert reproducer, but an early Exhibition reproducer would also be proper. It is unusual to see the oxidized copper finish in as clean condition as in the examples below.
