For those interested, I contacted the last owner of Mariah Acoustics re. the bookshelf speakers I picked up. They are not the Model 1's as I first believed, but are called the Thimble. They are based on a 10 inch diameter cylinder design and are 15.5 inches tall with solid oak tops and bottoms. Here is what Bill had to say about them:
"Retail on the Thimbles was I believe 299.$. WAY too INexpensive, should have been 999 or so, kind of like todays TOTEM. They are a 2-way design, sealed enclosure, 6'" woofer, 1" vifa soft dome, internal monster cable, good 5 way binding posts, close tolerance top quality crossover parts."
