The PHILCO Phorum

Hi,  

I purchased a fully restored, cosmetically original 1929 HighBoy Deluxe a couple of years back. This set has a plaque, just above the escutcheon, bearing the words Screen Grid Plus. It has recently come to my notice that other model 95s I see on the net are missing this plaque.

Any ideas? Were a few produced like this when the set was first introduced?

Ok, here's the smaller image from my 95 detail page.... Note the plaque above the escutcheon...

Wow, Paul,

You certainly know how to find the rare birds!

In all of my years of collecting (41 years, the last 25 specializing in Philco), I have never seen a 95 with a tag above the escutcheon like that.

Now having seen this, I am wondering the same thing as you mentioned - if perhaps a few early production Screen Grid Plus models had this additional piece above the regular escutcheon?
