Philco 20 Baby Grand Movie Star!
#1

Just bought this Philco 20 Baby Grand with this on the back of the cabinet.  Looks like it says Mary Brian as the Paramount star that sponsored the radio for the auction.  She's on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Brian.  I won't be able to see the tag in person until late in the month.

Has anyone ever seen one of these tags on a radio?  I'm really stoked about finding this one!  The cabinet has a really old alligatored gold finish on it, which looks as old as the radio.  Could it have been a promo job with gold over the varnish, since it was a movie star sponsored fund raiser for the Salvation Army?

It'll need some correct knobs, but all else seems correct?

Any thoughts on this one?
