The 33-1/3 RPM LP was tried in the early thirties and dropped after two years. The first successful introduction was in 1948 by Columbia, with the 45 by RCA shortly thereafter. So when your player was made, the only thing available to play was the 78RPM record.

It's interesting that the case looks very much like the familiar three and four-speed players popular throughout the fifties and sixties.
