Kim, that's quite the collection of radios you have there. Is the portable you bring to events a '37 as well? My only Philco is a '46 (a model 46-1226). I have a very nice '41 Zenith 10-tube model that I would love to get working soon. The radio came with the original bill of sale showing that the purchaser placed it on layaway on August 10, 1941 and paid it off (and picked it up) on November 10, 1941. I can imagine that the owner listened to the reports of the attack on Pearl Harbor on this radio. I need to take a good photo of it as I haven't yet, but here's a photo of our own delightful "Retrogirl1941" (Samantha) leaning on it during a pinup photo shoot.
