Jackie - Victor introduced the first Victrola in 1906.  There's a
really good web resource on Victrolas,
http://www.victor-victrola.com/
and you can find out when your model was made there.  Earlier ones
had a Victor Exhibition reproducer, later models had a Victrola
Number 2 reproducer.  The Orthophonic Victrolas, introduced in 1925,
were designed to play electrically-recorded records and the
largest of those, the Credenza model, has spectacular sound
quality for an accoustic machine.
