There were some Philco Tropic models like that which were manufactured and marketed in Canada, but this example was not one of them. As for the paint job, I wonder if my late uncle may have been responsible for that, he did a lot of work for a now defunct antique dealer in Tweed, and a few other people, the dealer in Tweed went on a cabinet painting program to make the more boring Bakelite sets more attractive to his customers. If the Wellington you are from is in Prince Edward county, Ontario, then this is a possibility.
