As George stated, these are Class M phonographs in a desk. The cast iron legs resemble treadles. The cross member connecting both legs is cast with the letters "NAPC" (North American Phonograph Company) in a circular logo at the center. I'm aware of 4 surviving examples. Shown below is an example from the collection of the late Charley Hummel.
