The fact that labor rates and economic conditons were such that they could be hand painted and then sold at an affordable price seems to be the greatest historic significance of such radios.
Passing off a fake as real is a crime, but other than that, the radio belongs to whoever owns it, so they are free to do with it as they choose. Some may choose to keep one as an artifact, and others may want it to look and work nicely.
Anyone who has a very rare set might want to consider donating it to a museum, especially if they bought it at a low price and are not poor.
