That would be a Jensen.  They still make 123's of different sorts.  Apparently API used 123 in some of its products, not really sure why.  Good sounding transformer.

Definitely a Jensen JE 123.  They are well suited to API circuits.    I think the different types are whether they are pcb mount or with flying leads etc.

That would be a Jensen. 

no JE  or JT markings.
could be from an Tom Reichenbach wind or  from Jim Bauer.

Up until Automated Processes closed their doors in 1978, no Reichenbach transformers.
The reconstituted API sourced transformers from several sources including Jensen and Bauer.
as to "good sounding transformer",  in comparison to a 2503, 111c or a 14.4 modem coil ?
