A Philco 50 has entered my collection.
#4

Thanks. It did catch my eye as soon as I saw it sitting in the poorly lit upper floor of the little antique shop. First had to see what it was which is a Philco, then realized I was looking at a 50 instead of a 20 as it was too small to be a 20. Of course getting it into the light and looking at the tag confirmed it. I think the price could have been better on it, but I had no problem whisking it downstairs and purchasing it after seeing it was in decent shape. I am not totally sure about the finish. I might be a redo, but looks old enough to work.

No matter where you go, there you are.
