Ron, Thanks for the list of cabinet makers, it's a important part of Philco history. Im getting closer to determining who 'Factory 28' was....if it was indeed Pooley, they were a very good quality cabinet maker, producing many fine pieces for Atwater Kent.
I'm surprized to see the 112 cabinet was made by at least five different companies. I guess this shows that radio cabinet production was large and complicated part of the final product back in the early 1930's. I'll add that my 112 has extra nice burled walnut veneer which is about 1/16th" thick (about twice the thickness of many cabinet veneers).
If anyone else has a 112, share it's 'Furniture Factory' number with us.
