I picked up this large 1937 Climax ME "Angry Face" a few days ago. While the mfg was Climax it was sold under the brands "Silver" and "Worthmore". This one has no name tag. It's an 8 tube, 3 band receiver, 24"w x 12"h x 10"d.

It is now widely used and is missing in most dictionaries except Webster.
Interestingly, in my language this is the only meaning.
Cultural difference I guess Icon_lol
