Brain Flatulant

I know that I have seen this radio speaker table before. This one came with a RCA 103 speaker, flower embroidered grill cloth and all. Well, I am sure that is wrong, but with no tags or speaker I can't place the manufacture, but I am sure that I have seen the table before - so, what is it?

I can't say for sure, it may have been an aftermarket radio table and speaker cabinet, they used to market a lot of those back then. The top doesn't seem to match the base, it looks like someone either made it or added a top from another piece of furniture, though it could be be original. Since some used one of those horrible "Antiqued" finishes with the crappy green paint they may have added that top as well.

No, they tried to fix the top and the original finish turned green - really.

Van Dyke Walnut will turn green when it ages....

So nobody remembers seeing one of these? I am trying to decide if I want to put the time into it, also find the proper speaker.

I've seen a few speaker tables before, but none quite like yours.

Regarding the green finish, I once owned a Philco 296 radio/phono with an original finish that had turned greenish. My friend Doug Houston knew what caused it, and I remember him telling me, but I have since forgotten what he said.
