Corner Full Range Speaker-I.D.?

[bobsvinyl]

I picked this speaker up today at GW for pocket change. No badge or identifying marks. The driver had some numbers that are in the following photos. It is a little over 8" in diameter and weighs 2 pounds, 12 oz. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hmmm... Do not know, but I'll bet that is a date code of 1964.

Can you post a picture of the back?

1056 could be Fisher.

I wanted to agree at first, but that looks like the backplate of a ferrite/ceramic magnet which would be too new for Fisher i'm pretty sure, meaning the EIA code is for Gefco. Date code suggests 24th week of a year ending in 9, likely '69.

Here's some more photos of the back of the driver and one of the cabinet. Don't tell my wife I was working on the dining room table.

OK alnico
but, the red ink looks just like that from Gefco.

Voice of Music used a lot of Gefco speakers.

You're probably right, I don't know much about these numbering systems, just looked at the codes via google. The red cones remind me of Misco.

The red cones remind me of Misco.

Or Stromberg-Carlson, they really liked those red cones.

Thanks for the info everyone!

I wonder if it is an extension speaker for a console radio.

Good chance on that i think.
