So I literally just picked this up 20 minutes ago on Craigslist. It looks really high quality but I have no earthly idea who made it. One website says that it was made by American Art Deco. I can't find any other references to it. There are some numbers written on the bottom but no makers mark. Does anyone know anything about American Art Deco? Or have any information about who designed it and when it was made? Thanks!

.
I think 'American Art Deco' is a generic term there. The site where I think you saw that also mentions the American Specialty Corp of Indianapolis, IN... And Howell furniture in relation to similar pieces.

I found a couple of things.
Alright so... I found this first website which has a similar piece which had a sticker that reads "RCM It's A ROCK-OLA Product". http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7776784
And after doing some more digging, I found this website. http://www.kuijs.net/rock-ola/4700.htm
So atleast I know that Rock-Ola did make other things other than jukeboxes.
