1940 Zephyr Radiobar cabinet
#4

Philco generally hired outside designers to design cabinets for them. Then, sometimes Philco manufactured the cabinets but more often than not, they contracted with other furniture makers to build cabinets for them.

Yup, I see the similarity between those two, and also the 40-170CS chairside.
