The only Victor product designated the "IX" I'm familiar with is a table top Victrola with an enclosed horn -- The actual model designation is VV-IX (VV stands for Victor Victrola)

The Victor Talking Machine Company DID produce two outside horn models in mahogany cabinets --
The Vic. IV (sometimes labeled V IV) and the Vic. VI. (One model, the Vic. V, is normally found in an oak cabinet, however, a few late examples in mahogany cabinets have surfaced.)
Vic IV --

Along this line, it's important to note that a number of "fake" gramophones have been turning up on sites such as eBay. Some are fitted with authentic Victor ID tags taken from junked machines.
If you could post some photos of this machine, it would help in its identification. For help posting images, SEE:
