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.

Do you know that the word "Climax" has one more meaning in English of which most people in fact are not aware?
The meaning is...."MENOPAUSE"!!!!
Get this radio and gift it to someone else! ASAP!!!!

Yes. That too!

Look under the meaning #2.
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
