Pretty cool. An inexpensive radio made for hotels to place in their rooms, before TVs became common and cheap enough.

There's another one listed on ebay with the same brass plaque, but different cabinet. Still with the rough finish and the grille that looks like it was taken from a radiator cover

These were originally coin-op jobs sold by the Radio-Matic corp (formerly of Newark, NJ). Apparently, they were designed and built by GE.
