Ron, I was not doubting what you said, but reinforcing the opinion stating that this was an aftermarket stand for this specific radio, not just "some radio"

What I still don't know is if there is an added collectible value from such aftermarket products.

Same here,I'm not doubting any body. my knowledge here is limited and I am very grateful for anyone's opinion. I have no doubts that this stand is a third party manufacturer, the decal under the shelf clearly states that. I am just intrigued as to the story behind it, i.e. how was it marketed and how was it available to customers? The matching colors indicate it was intended for this very model set, which would mean there would probably be different colors for the other models as well. So, was it made available through a Philco dealer or mail order or department store? Who knows? For me it just makes it more interesting.
