That machine was known as The School House Victor, and the horn was stored on a shelf that was below, the lid could be removed to accomadate the horn. Number XXV, (25)
Those are vertical cut grooves - not lateral. Edison, who invented the gramophone recording on cylinders, needed to make a disc player when they became the new standard. He refused to licence the 78 disk that used lateral recording grooves (left-right grooves), and so invented his own using up/down grooves. The records are much thicker to give vertical room to cut the grooves. There were a few 78 players that had two play heads; one for Edison records and one for the more common, lateral groove standard.
Clever item that. And I envy you that lovely horn.

edison discs are VERTICAL CUT
But the Edison format is made for tonearms that are moved by the motor, not the record groove.
