Dan;
I have the fancier version of that radio called a "Brahms" it has a bank of pushbuttons, and a motorized dial, but I have seen the "Liszt" version come up from time to time as well, they seem to be more common, probably because they were $15-20 cheaper back in 1938.
Brad;
I've noticed that what brands turn up in what area seems to depend on what distributors operated in the region, in my area I see more DeForest Crosley sets then Rogers, but I see more of either type then of the Canadian Majestic models. In my area there was a Phonola dealer, a Sparton dealer, a Westinghouse dealer (in a downtown hardware store), a small Eatons store, and RCA-Victor dealer, a G.E dealer, and a DeForest-Crosley dealer, I have no idea who sold Philco sets in the area but they turn up too. What I don't see too often is Canadian Marconi stuff, but it does turn up in Nanaimo.
Regards
Arran
