"Mr. SAM" is the name given to a Wurlitzer Type C orchestrion in the Paul Eakins collection (now a museum in St. Louis, MO). An orchestrion is a mechanical musical instrument that automatically plays music and sounds (more or less) like an orchestra or band. The image submitted is actually of the precise machine known as "Mr. Sam." (http://www.bandorganmusic.com/pcd2051_Mr.Sam.htm.) About Paul Eakins generally, see, https://secondhandsongs.com/case/86101.
