Anyone recognize these as a specific brand?

I used to have three of them. The speakers are usually Jensens. They were sold originally as singles and were extension speakers for organs or radios.

Interesting. All the Jensens I've owned have had baskets like that, but the back of the magnet looked a bit different and had a Jensen badge/sticker on it. But, I'm no Jensen expert, either!

Interesting. There is a white stamped number that allot of Jensens had but something looks different about the baskets. Could be the lighting. As well there seems to be an attenuator but no visible tweeter in front?
Worth a look if close by.

I don't think the attenuator is for a tweeter. I think it's a volume control knob, so you can match it to the main system... being an extension speaker, that might be necessary.

Could be coaxials? If they are in good shape and are coaxial ... could be interesting!

They look cool I don't know if they are 100 dollar cool but cool all the same.

I wondered that, when I could only see one circle behind the grill cloth. However, I don't see much from the back that suggests a coaxial driver. If they were, I'd probably be out there checking them out closer right now.

Looks like Jensen P12Q's to me. . :yes:

Not coaxials, full rangers. The ones I had were Jensen P12PS’s. Very nice real wood cabinets. That's a fair price but no scroe.
