It's curious how, on that fleabay example, that the escutcheon is rusty but the chassis is not, it the front must have been exposed to something corrosive and not just humidity. For some reason I thought that the escutcheons on those 1939-40 Philcos were stamped out of brass, the one on my 40-780 Tropic was.
