Rare Truetone Tombstone twin speaker
#18

I think the Truetone branded model like yours is abit less common than the Airline version or the Lafayette. Same radios just cabinets are different

But now that I think about it? Ive never seen the Lafayette...but the other two yes

One of these days Im going to do a thread with all the twin speaker table radios before 1950. Russ did a Stewart Warner( I think or Masek) that was beautiful.
Ive been saving all the twin speaker set links and am just about done..I think Ive found about a dozen or so
