Here are a few questions if you can answer them it will make it a lot easier to help identify the record player.
Take a look at the needle area and check the head of the needle to see if there are any marking on the needle.
Check the player and see if you see a metal plate that would indicate the name of the player.
Normally there is something on the needle area, behind the player, or on the base of the player that should indicate who made this.
If you can't find anything at all it would be helpful if you took photos of the inside of the player and posted there here or on this forum - forum.talkingmachine.info/
I'm not familiar with these machines but research shows there are quite a lot of this type of player showing up for sale.
Most of the machines listed for sale have brand names which leads me to believe yours has a name somewhere - just difficult to find maybe?
Yours resembles the machines on this advertisement:

There are a lot of these listed at sites all over but I did not see any listing showing a sold machine so value would be difficult (although you did not ask about value) because all machines will be different in brand as well as condition.
Also, value will depend a lot on your location as almost all of these are listed as 'local pick up only'.
You can take a look at the machines listed for sale on eBay - asking prices are all over the place (as would be expected):

You can also try some of the free appraisal sites to see if they will offer information. They require several detailed pictures.
