Scott,
I'm
green with envy! That's the exact radio my father used to have. He had it around for years before I was born. He lost his first wife through a car accident in 1954. He married again and I was born in February 1956. I heard the Detroit Tigers win the AL pennant on this radio in 1968. I sure wish that radio was still around. It introduced me to all those weird sounds on short-wave, (telemetry signals, etc.). Sure is a beauty! Congrats and best of luck finding a properly "aged" Philco logo.
Mike
