I have a beautiful Polyphon Style 104 with a closed bottom deep drawer.
Most of the Polyphon Style 104's I have seen have an open bottom short
drawer.

I am curious as these machines are identical from the top of the drawer
upwards. Do you have any knowledge regarding this Style 104 difference?
Are the solid deep drawer Polyphon models earlier pre 1900 examples?

I am intrigued and I could not come up with any answer with my research.
I will be grateful for any information you can provide.

Thank you for your help ... Please stay well ... Cheers
